Day Two of the Multi-Block

It is Day Two of the Multi-Block Competition, and the 2009 BP World Ice Art Championships even more original and unique than in years past. Sitting in the artists' eating area is fascinating. Conversations vary from what is next in their sculpting plan to how much sleep the artists believe they can run on before they crash. And by crash, I mean the artists... hopefully not the sculptures!

The weather today is colder than yesterday, with a forecasted high of 7 and a low of -8. Around noon, the temps were just below freezing at -2. Luckily, the wind is low and fairly calm.

The sounds of heavy equipment echo down the two rows of Multi-Block Competition. In just 30 hours, massive amounts of progress have been made. There are approximately 100 hours to go and new and veteran sculptors alike are getting into the groove.
