Luminary Pyramid from the Luminary Loppet

The Loppet this year was the busiest I've ever seen. The luminary sculptures are fascinating points of interest for the wandering crowds. For one night a year, the rather quiet lake is the busiest tourist attraction in town. I love that you can see all the people on their phones either taking pix or tweeting or something. This was shot by the PoleCam!

Luminary Loppet Ice Henge From Above

A 'Loppet' is a cross-country ski race. Nobody knows that, but it's a nice short word and fits on a sign nicely. The 'Luminary Loppet' is an event in Minneapolis on Lake of the Isles in the evening, it started out as a track lit by 'luminaries' which are blocks of ice with candles in them. Then a group of ingenious people started building sculptures of ice and putting candles in them. This is the 'Ice Henge' which is the newest sculpture this year. Look closely, you can see me in the shot!

Luminary Loppet Ice Henge at Night

Last night a the Luminary Loppet, I went out shooting with Werner, Rob and Matt. We all brought our Tripods for the night photos, except me. I brought the infamous tottering PoleCamTM and was able to pull off some long-ish exposures with the camera wobbling twenty feet in the air. This is the first time PoleCam has been out in a crowded place and it's amazing how much attention the contraption attracts. Stick around, more pix this week!
