Cool Pictures, really cool!
As a resident of the desert southwest, I am pleased to have daytime winter temperatures between the low 60’s to mid-70’s on average with only a modicum of cloudy days and scant rain. I suppose the heat of the summer, which may reach as high as 115 degrees on some days, tends to balance the scale a bit.
I appreciate how those in the colder and more northern climes deal with the cold and often relish their environment. The Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival 2015 is no exception. These ice sculptures are just fascinating and inventive. I hope you visit the link below to view all of the photos. Some are taken in the evenings with colored lights reflecting in the crystal-like surroundings.
