The photo on the quiz page shows Day One of the Annual International Snow Sculpture Championships, held each January in Breckenridge, Colorado. Pictured here are winning sculptures from previous years, along with several more ordinary snowmen you'll find quite charming.
Teams from around the world compete by carving twenty-ton, 12-foot-tall blocks of snow into awe inspiring works of art, using only their own two hands, imagination, and artisitc vision. Each 4-person team carves a unique sculpture, often times depicting the team’s culture or heritage.
Only hand tools are allowed in the competition - no power tools, heavy machinery, or colorants are permitted.
Needless to say, the sculptures don't last long once the sun shines. But the finished works of art, while they last, are quite a sight to behold, and they present a sad but stunningly beautiful tribute to the temporary nature of art.
