Alphabet Project | I is for ice

Thank you to everyone that joined the Alphabet Photography Project over the past week with their letter H.

Back in December we took the Eurotunnel to Calais and drove to Bruges. While there we heard about an Ice Sculpture Festival which is the only one of its kind in Europe. On this occasion it was a World first, a unique interpretation of a Disney film called ‘Frozen’. A comedy adventure we now know very well indeed!

The icy wonderland was created by artists from 11 countries using 250 tonnes of ice. It took 5 weeks to pull together this remarkable exhibition in -6 degree temperatures.

How to join in 

The Alphabet Photography Project runs every Wednesday. If you’d like to share a post or link up an image, a Linky is live from that day until the following Tuesday. If you include a link back to PODcast I’ll share your post for you. You can post a photo on Instagram (PODcast is here) if you’d prefer using the hashtag #alphabetphoto.

There are also PinterestFacebook and Google+ groups for the Alphabet Photography Project.

Ideas for letter I

The #alphabetphoto theme can be interpreted in any way you choose. The letter I might be a photograph of ice-cream for example, an object that resembles the letter I or a photograph of the letter I using props. It could also be an adjective. Have a look at the letter hints in last week’s post. If you get really stuck, an online dictionary is a good point of reference!

Inspiration for letter J

Here are a few ideas to get us thinking about letter J:

Jam, joy, jewellery, junk yards, job, journalist, joke, jump, jackdaw, jackpot, jacuzzi, jagged, jangling, jiggle, jazz, jawline, jaywing, jogger, joining, journal, jovial, jelly, journey, Jubilee, juicing, jury, jetlag, jockey, jaunt, jars.

There are also lots of inspirational photographs on the #alphabetphoto Pinterest board:

    That photo is fabulous!! I’m afraid I can’t make out the exact detail – but honestly, when I saw it earlier today – it literally sent shivers through me!! I just found it so utterly amazing and stunning and really wanted to be there with you to see it too!! I get the feeling I’ve seen Frozen, far, far too much myself then!!! Ha!! x

  • Jess @ Catch A Single Thought July 9, 2014 at 7:39 pm

    Oh my goodness this is amazing, I can’t imagine how awesome it must have been to see it up close. I’ve actually never seen an ice sculpture exhibition before although it’s always been something I’d love to do one day…I think it’s such a clever talent.
