A Most Unusual Outdoor Resort

Some people enjoy building snow castles when the weather gets colder outside, while others go one step further. This New Zealand couple decided to go the next level in terms of creativity and design in their friend's Edmonton backyard.  Wait until you see what they used to build their colorful creation! The entire project took 5 days to complete.

1) Laying down the foundations for the project.

2) Gathering up the colorful ice blocks.

3) The first layer of the project is under way.

4) The happy couple paving their creation with snow.

5) More layers of  ice blocks are added to the creation.

8) They sure are indeed!

9) The project resumes with more layers of ice blocks.

10) Those ice blocks are beginning to form an igloo.
