With wind chills bringing temperatures to the -10 to -20 degrees (Farenheit) range, it had to be one of the coldest years for the Plymouth Ice Festival this weekend in Plymouth, Michigan.
Held the first weekend of January, the Plymouth Ice Festival brings thousands of people to downtown Plymouth to see the beautiful ice sculptures. One of my favorite parts of the festival is the ice sculpture competition held between culinary arts student teams from local community colleges.
I managed to catch some shots of the ice sculptures early Friday morning when everyone was getting set up for the festival. The bright sunshine made the ice sculptures sparkle in Kellogg Park.
Visiting the ice sculptures in the evening showed a different display for the sculptures, with colored lights setting the scene as people bundled up with their warm coats, scarves, and hats strolled by the walkways.
