Links to Things I Got Forwarded

My mom sent me some very beautiful pictures of an ice festival in Harbin. A bit of hunting turned up this site, which has even better (and more) pictures than those she sent. And here are some from the most recent festival. I particularly like the snow dragon:



Admittedly, it's not as impressive as some of the lit up spectacles at the festival, but I'm rather partial to dragons. ^/^

She also sent me a forward with pictures of a polar bear apparently playing with a sled dog. One or two looked iffy to me, but it turns out that they're real.
