EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, visitors are seen strolling past magnificent ice sculptures at the Chitose-Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival in Chitose, Japan. The festival, held in the northern part of the country, took place on February 2nd, 2009. These awe-inspiring ice sculptures were meticulously crafted by jetting water from Lake Shikotsu with sprinklers. The sheer scale and intricate details of these frozen masterpieces attract an astounding number of spectators each year. In fact, a staggering 270,000 visitors flocked to witness this icy wonderland during the previous edition of the festival. As people wander through this enchanting display of artistry and nature's magic combined, they can't help but be mesmerized by the ethereal beauty that surrounds them. Each sculpture tells its own unique story as it glistens under soft lights against a backdrop of snow-covered landscapes. The Chitose-Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival is not just a visual feast; it is an immersive experience that celebrates both creativity and winter's splendor. This annual event continues to captivate hearts until February 15th when these ephemeral creations will eventually succumb to time and warmth. Photographer Kim Kyung-Hoon skillfully captures this fleeting moment where visitors become part of a frozen fairy tale brought to life. His lens freezes time itself while showcasing humanity's ability to marvel at nature's wonders and find joy in even the coldest environments.
