    Every year the Madison Winter Festival brings in truckloads of snow to turn the streets around the Capitol Square into a cross country ski race course; there's also snowboarding competitions, snowshoeing, and other activities. Here's a few photos I took today - if I can make it back tomorrow I'll update later.

    And to top it off, we didn't even have a "real" winter this year, and it was about 40 degrees today! (we washed the salt off our cars) I'm just up the road a ways in Sauk County.

    The ice sculpture is awesome. Do you have more of those?

    nice variety of pictures here fin. I wouldn't mind a touch of that weather here myself.

    first and second ones tell a good story.

    I'm too busy to make it down to the square this weekend, nice bunch of shoots. I thought you weren't getting much of a summer in Aus. ( that's what my parents told me anyway)

    Thanks for the comments all. It was warmer today and I guess the ice sculptor was only working yesterday, so the pieces he left had melted somewhat. BTW, ice in shadows is hard to photograph - I think I got lucky yesterday with some nice backlighting. Most of the action today was the ski racing.

    All with the SMC Takumar 50/1.4

    14. These kids enjoyed the broken pieces from a sculpture more than the art itself!
