The first “source” entry was a photo I took in Ticino, nearly a week after I took these ice-sculpture photos inside the glacier at the top of the “Little Matterhorn” last November 1st – but seeing the glacier, ice, snow, rivers, frost on the grass around Zermatt in the mornings: all of those experiences helped me decide I’d need to try this series out. What else can be both shelter and sculpting material, cushion if you wall into it when it’s still soft, exercise medium when we swim, absolutely necessity for and source of the life-forms we know here on earth…and so many other things? There are more ice sculptures to come, from Nordkapp. But I figure first I’d show you the ones from Zermatt :-).
King Crab catching on the frozen fjord, our early-afternoon (about 1:30pm, these photos) outing before our overnight on the ice beds (still to come, here) at the Snowhotel Kirkenes, in Finnmark County, Norway.
I’ll admit right now, for Sam and anyone else who’s curious: if I had a more legitimate “canal” photo from the “country” I’d post it: must get out to the countryside asap once I’m back in Amsterdam this coming weekend and do so, or indeed I’ll have to let this series sleep for a bit. Still, lovely photo & fiord, eh? 🙂
