When it gets
hot out and you need to cool down -- this is the Coolest ! |
An interesting story of
how the travels in Life take you somewhere even when you do not leave the room. Now we are in China. We received an email that had images attached people wanted us to see. Except when we asked about the images no one could tell us any thing as to how they appeared. They could not get us to the source. |
We decided to do some research on our own. What we found was the world of R. Todd King. A photographer that
has a feel for the earth he comes from and shows it too. Once we had found who we were looking for we then decided this is a must do. We must tell the story. And show you what was sent to us. But mind you, if you want to see more - you have to float around R. Todd King's world and see what it is he does. This is definitely cool ! |

Yup ! Our email editor
took us to China. This is Harbin. For a half year the thermometer stays below freezing. As low as 40 degrees below zero. So what do you do then ? You make Cool things. This Ice festival has happened every year since 1985. Mystical is The Word that best describes it. In Harbin, Ice sculpture has been an organized part of the culture since 1963. But it is said that it actually dates back to the Manchu dynasty. |
The ice festival at Sun Island Park -- north of Harbin's river, Songhua Jiang, brings with it
more than a million tourists from around the world and is filled with bright neon colors everywhere. Pretty as a rose. Photograph by R. Todd King.

This is the snow festival which takes place just a few miles from the Harbin Ice Festival.
The Bear and cub are a small portion of what is really a huge 50 meter long works of Art. |
