Ice Sculptures in Moscow

Ufo

Temperatures in Moscow during winter allow that the Ice Festival can take place every year. This year it is dedicated to the Russian history and achievements in aerospace technology. Thus all the sculptures, ranging from free interpretations related to cosmos e.g. UFO-Unknown Flighing Object, to mini copies of real space rockets, such as Soyus, can be admired at the exhibition.

Movie Stories vs Real Life

Patel had to abandon his car, on his way home from work somewhere in the English countryside. It is January and heavy snowfall caused a traffic chaos. So he left his car behind in the snow, helped others to move theirs before he had no choice but turn to the village church, looking for shelter. He spent the night at an old couple's house in Surrey. The next day, in the early afternoon, he made it back home, but still had to get his car back. Now, reality or fiction?

Hometown Snow Wonder

New Year's Eve 2009 was a blast, for various reasons. People were excited about the chance to ignite their fireworks AND freshly fallen and settled powder snow coated nature and the city...just like in the story book...source of the photo: local newspaper "Maerksiche Allgemeine".
