Ice Sculptures: Victory Park
 |
| It says "50 year victory" |
 |
| Cool sculpture |
 |
| Matryoshka doll sculpture - cute! |
 |
| loosely translated as "here starts Russia" - with bears - too bad the sculptures were covered in so much snow, but it was a beautiful, mild night. We missed the Christmas decorations by 1 day. |
 |
| Nice pose love... |
 |
| Monkey in a barrel |
 |
| Naturally, when I saw this Kremlin slide, I had to try it |
 |
| Craig discovered a new setting on the camera that takes snapshots of action... if I had my own little saucer I`d have gone MUCH faster, but I came unprepared. I wanted to borrow one, but didn`t do it. |
 |
| Here I go! |
 |
| It went pretty fast for just on my butt! |
 |
| Waving to my biggest fan! lol |
 |
| Trying to stay upright as I wave |
 |
| Good thing I didn't have a saucer because that is a kid crashing into the bean bags at the end to slow him down on his saucer! The slide was free with your admission ticket of 350 Rubles per person |
 |
| My little ice angel |
 |
| I`m from Canada... I had to pose in the igloo! Above me it says "se novum godum" meaning "Happy New Year"! Literally translated I think it says "with new year" |
 |
| Posing on my ice throne proved a little difficult... Craig captured my expression as I started to slide off. |
 |
| And then I composed myself! lol |
 |
| Craig was supposed to pose on the unicorn, but he couldn`t lift his inflexible leg high enough, so up I went... bad idea. The heat from my body melted the ice (thus the reason for the hole I guess - from previous posers) and my pants were therefore wet on the way home - yuck! It was a lovely evening out with my hubby. |
 |
| How many workers does it take to clear the ice off the street in front of the Oligarch's place? Definition of Oligarch - a person who belongs to a small group of people who govern or control a country, business, etc. |
