Amazing Snow Sculptures

Weekend Image Post – Snow Sculptures

Every Sunday either we publish a featured artist, a photo post, an infographics or some amazing, weird, funny and cool pictures and splendid photographs of varied interests from around the world.

This week we publish a collection of amazing snow sculpture from around the world.

It’s not always so easy to make such a collection as many owners disable downloading of their photos. We highly respect owners’ rights.

Snow sculpture is a sculpture form comparable to sand sculpture or ice sculpture in that most of it is now practiced outdoors, and often in full view of spectators, thus giving it kinship to performance art in the eyes of some. The materials and the tools differ widely, but often include hand tools such as shovels, hatchets, and saws. Snow sculptures are usually carved out of a single block of snow about 6 to 15 feet on each side and weighing about 20 – 30 tons. The snow is densely packed into a form after having been produced by artificial means or collected from the ground after a snowfall.
