Beelden Festival Zwolle 2011

Welkom in de Wondere Wereld van Sneeuw en Ijs!

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Snow and Ice!

We went last Saturday to the Beelden Festival 2011 (Ice Sculptures Festival 2011) in Zwolle. A great tip from Aledys! :-) Thank you, my dear! We loved it!

An exhibition of sea related historical and mythical figures sculpted on ice...
I didn't photograph all the sculptures (numbers 4, 18, 20). Once in a while I had to keep my hands in the pockets. It was really cold (-8℃)!!

    btw- your title has 2011 in it. Just thought I'd let you know. Should it be 2012?

    Adorei. São fantásticas estas esculturas e também têm um sabor especial porque são efémeras.
    Beijinhos! :)
