Ice – Ghiaccio

Posted by KATYA at 17:26, 10 Aug 2008

Salve!

I don’t know in your country but here in Italy is a very hot Summer
so today I have thought to dedicate my blog to the Harbin Ice Festival,
watching the photos the air seems more fresh ;-)

Non so da voi ma qui a Roma l’Estate è caldissima
così oggi ho pensato di dedicare il mio blog alla festa del ghiaccio di Harbin,
guardando le foto l’aria sembra più fresca ;-)

Il periodo di gelata nella città di Harbin, situata nella Cina nordorientale, dura 190 giorni.
Harbin è la capitale mondiale della cultura del ghiaccio.
L'inverno lungo e rigido e il fiume Songhuajiang ghiacciato, forniscono i materiali naturali all'arte del ghiaccio.
Il primo festival del ghiaccio di Harbin si è tenuto il 5 gennaio 1985.
Harbin è stata la sede della terza edizione dei Giochi asiatici invernali.
Visitare il giardino delle lanterne e sculture di ghiaccio e neve, competizione internazionale di sculture di ghiaccio e neve; attività sportive come nuoto invernale, hockey sul ghiaccio, gare di pattinaggio e sci alpino.

HugsguH!

I know the weather is changing in many places, here too.

But still, we have many days here when it is colder outside, at the warmest time of the day, than in your freezer. That is in our winter of course.

It is not how fast you go

Well, over here we're fed up with it! Every night is like a 'Bladerunner' rerun. Only thing missing is the flying patrols trumpeting "Move along" :-(

The ice sculptures are my favourite because have more lights and nuances, like a imaginary glass city

An amazing amount of effort must have been put into these works of art - truly beautiful.

Thanks and hugs, Kathrinn
