Winter Carnival( Festival time

This is the time of year when many Canadian communities celebrate winter with outdoor activities and competitions. such as snow or ice sculpture. The snow and ice sculpture above is fron an old scanned photo taken during the winter of 1967 when the school I was teaching in held a winter carnival. My grade 7 class and I built this replica of a prehistoric dinosaur, a Stegosaurus. We won 1st place. Other years I remember my class and I placing first with a giant turtle. Its as much fun as building a snowman but on a larger scale. To add a bit of contrast to the picture I used a photo shop filter of dark strokes to highlight the icy plates on its back.
