Simply Stunning!

Have you heard of the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival? Me neither...the closest I have been to gorgeous ice sculptures were those at the local Holiday Inn Buffet!  This magical ice festival is located in Norteast China close to Siberia...where the winters can get as cold as -40 degrees! It runs from Janruary 5th until February 5th,  so If you want to go you'd have to plan for next year...until then you can read all about it here...and make sure to check out the images taken at night! Breathtaking!
