Happy New Year!

Greg and I made it home to Alaska in the wee hours of January 4th. By that time, temps were warmer here than they were in Tennessee. Actually for the last week it has been quite pleasant weather for this time of the year.

Tonight we decided to walk down to Town Square and look at this year's ice sculptures.

Surprisingly, for 9 o'clock on a Sunday night there were several people out admiring this year's creations.

The green light behind these sea turtles really helped emphasize the movement in this sculpture.

 Greg and I agreed that overall these seem to be the best collection we've seen so far.

 Each one seemed to be quite elaborate and detailed.

You can tell that many hours went into each one.

 This is a pretty good likeness of the Statue of Liberty, complete with a city skyline behind it.
