I have the privilege of living in a very unique spot, up in the arctic circle of Canada. With the Corona crapshow still in full effect, our hamlet decided to carry on with Easter festivities but to do it in a way that still allowed social distancing. One of the more prominent activities was creating easter themed snow scenes. There were a bunch of houses that participated, and I'm afraid my camera froze up from the -30 wind before I could photograph them all. Here is what I captured.
Sadly, this is where my camera died and the weather has taken a bit of a turn with gusts of 65 km/h knocking most of the remaining scenes over or eroding them away with the snow blown as hard as a sandblaster.
Thank you for taking the time to look through my photographs. I use a Nikon P900 in the Black + White Effects setting since the white on white on white is really hard to photograph quickly. At least for someone new to photography it is.
Hi! @lacking.
You're right you have the special privilege to live there.
I enjoy a lot your photographs
Have a nice day!
These are some really cool photos, and I'm super impressed with the skill of some of the snow sculptures! Very awesome!
Oh, I love the snow bunnies! These are all such amazing sculptures, especially considering the weather conditions up there! Hope you stay safe & warm!
They must carve them out of a whole chunk of hardened snow and slowly shape them by hand, because it's definitely not warm enough to mold the snow into shapes lol It goes hand in hand with their traditional rock carvings too :D

These ice and snow sculptures are so lovely! I was complaining about the cold in Montreal and that we got snow in April, but when I read your post, I realized that it can always be worse. ;-)
