Ice Pillars





Japan’s Lake Shikotsu Ice festival Ice Pillars are illuminated with colored lights giving the ice a really cool and creative effect.  This festival occurred on February 3, 2009. As you can see in the images provided without the lights the ice pillars would just be plain and boring but with the colored lights the ice comes to life. There are even caves lighted by a since color, like the green one, which when walked through people can see the inside of the cave illuminated by a different color. Not only are the ice pillars illuminated with different colors but the colors used are bright and happy that any one that goes to visit this festival will probably walk out happier and more cheerful than when they came. Japan must be freezing at this time of year but these warm and happy colors help everyone get through the day.  I thought that the Ice festival was very creative and wonderful because it is a different kind of art that should also be appreciated.
