It’s going to take a few more days to show you the rest of my trip to the Sapporo Snow Festival, so let’s get started. Here are today’s installments. The first is a close-up of a sculpture that was in the background of the last slide from my most recent posting.

Not-so-icy sculpture
This one wasn’t created from snow, but I thought it photo-worthy nonetheless. Looks like something one might see somewhere in Scandinavia, doesn’t it? OK, so I haven’t been to Scandinavia, and I’ve only seen such things on VuMaster slides, but I do have many X chromosome DNA markers in common with some people from Finland. So there. I have a voice. Or my ancestors did. Or something.
Peaceful bridge
I’ll conclude today’s offerings with this peaceful-looking stone bridge. I find this, and most of the other non-sculpture photos quite fascinating, since I have no memory whatsoever of seeing these scenes, much less of taking these photos.  But I did. I might have been sleepwalking, but I definitely did. Or, maybe it had something to do with a refill of my mizu wari or my chu hai. If you don’t know what those are, I am leaving their definitions as an exercise to the blog browser.
