China's fairytale theatre of ice sculptures- Harbin Ice and Snow Festival

Though myself and so many others were freezing earlier this week... Unusually so. In Harbin, China they are enjoying themselves at their yearly Ice and Snow Festival .I gotta admit this icy cold display is pretty darn  awesome! I will post a few images. And link to the rest.Or here

"It took 7,000 artists to create this sprawling 6,458,400 square feet of winter wonderland in Harbin, China's tenth most populous city in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, where winter temperatures drop to a low of -40 degrees Celsius. Countless blocks of crystal ice were cut from the frozen Songhua River and transported to the site of the festival, where sub-zero temperatures kept them from melting, and will do so until mid-February when winter wanes and marks the end of the festival"

2014 is the 30th anniversary of this Ice and Snow Festival! Night  DaytimeBrrrrr..... but beautiful
