Plymouth Ice Festival

Plymouth, Michigan view map

This beautiful giraffe ice sculpture was my favourite at this year's Plymouth Ice Festival.
I took lots of photos, but chose to upload this one for today as I liked the sparkle on it's tail -
it proves that the sun sometimes shines here! I did take some of the giraffe ice sculpture
without so much going on in the background, but like the look on the man's face too, he has
the look of a proud father, or a job well done.
We have also been to the Auto Show in Detroit this weekend, so took masses of photos there too
and now need to find time to process and upload some!

I am noticing some funky blotchiness in the dark areas in the background of images from
my 40D - not sure what is going on, I hope it is nothing wrong with my camera....

Great photo, Tricia. I knew you would go here as soon as I heard it announced.

This turned out quite nicely. It was very difficult shooting conditions.

I was wondering when this was. Now I know. Your shot is super Tricia.

You already know that, this festival is one of the things that I miss the most from MI.
