A road trip to see Ice Castles

 Our last road trip of 2011. Hope 2012 brings more travel and sight-seeing.

 Beli had much fun walking through the tunnels and admiring the high arches. You can find more info about the project here.
 It was meant to be about an hour drive to Silverthorne, CO but with high winds it took us over two hours.

Isn't it a winter wonderland?





We met one of the artists and he urged us to return after sunset to see for ourselves how different the view was at night. And that's what we did. We had a nice lunch, then returned to see the illuminated ice formations.






 It looks like someone put powdered sugar. (giggling)

  6. Helen, Beli has so much fun! (I wasn't sure if she would go for the hat and mittens and snow boots...but when she felt the cold she was more than ok to bundle up!)

  9. Poetess, at first you didn't realize how cold it was because the sun was bright, but once you were in out of the tunnels, you really felt the COLD, plus we were at over 8,000 feet above level. But it was really a beautiful thing to see!

  10. The third last picture I am gonna "rob" !
    It kind of explodes into your face, stunningly good, and my absolute favorite.
    And looking at pictures like these, it cant be that bad not to live in Croatia.
    Ah well, had my first walk between the palmtrees at the Adriatic today, and to me that was stunning as well.
