Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, Part 2

I was exploring the ice castle, the main attraction of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival (see yesterday's post also):

 Inside the castle I found this giant fish, whose mouth provided children with a handy escape route:

The throne and accompanying ice figures dominated the center of the ice castle:

There was a giant mermaid:

And icy letters on a block wall, designating this year's theme of "Under The Sea:"

I walked around to the front of the castle and looked through its main entrance:

I thought this was a whale at the time, but looking at it now, I'm pretty sure it was a submarine. It had small ice blocks inside, on which children could sit and pretend they were in a submarine:

But the time had come to return to my car full of dogs, so I walked slowly away from the ice castle as it glistened in the early morning sun:

The traveling food vender was already open for business, even though hardly anyone was afoot. I thought "The Towne Fryer" was a clever name for a doughnut wagon:

I returned to the parking lot, taking a photo of frozen Lake Flower on my way, with Saranac Lake homes on its far bank:

As I drove away to continue our journey, Daphne and Clover watched Lake Flower pass by outside the window:
