Ice sculptures which were made to celebrate
the New Year and Christmas (which occurs on January 7 here in Russia).
To the left is a huge Christmas tree erected by the Ufa city
administration.
Below is Larry
standing in front of an ice palace gate. Next to Larry is a picture
of Ded Moroz ("dead mah-ROSE"), which translated means "Father Frost".
He
is quite similar to Santa Claus.
These ice sculptures are a very visible part of how the culture here
celebrates winter holidays.
