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.

That's a very cool looking Stegosaurus! I can see why your class won first place. What a neat idea to do when you are stuck with lots of snow anyway. I'm sorry to hear that you just got more. I know that is frustrating!

There are 63 covered bridges in the province of New Brunswick and I love finding them in those 'out of the way' places. I have photographed most all of them, with only about 4 or 5 yet to locate. I still have many photos yet to post on my New Brunswick Covered Bridges blog. If you would like to visit and see more pictures of Covered Bridges, just click on the picture above.
