Ice Carving

Today’s Photowalk had the ingredients chainsaws, blowtorches, chisels and ice. By now you are wondering how these things come together. These are all the tools you need for ice carving. Today, during 'Houston's Second Annual Magnificent Seven All Out Ice Sculpting', seven artists competed to create the best master peace out of seven tons of ice in seven hours.

There was a weather warning because of freezing temperatures, which are unusual in Houston. But with the sun it turned out to be a really nice day. However, the real Houstonians think anything below 65F (18C) is too cold.
