Down Came the Ice

The rain chain ice sculpture just came crashing down.

It sounded like the whole studio was falling around my head. The building shook like a 7.5 Richter scale earthquake and the noise was deafening.

No, the chain didn't fall. The weather has warmed up and the ice loosened around the chain. Then, it slid down the chain. Big chunks broke at the bottom as the weight pressed down, flinging huge ice logs against the side of the building. About half the length of the chain slid down, leaving the bottom 15 feet still encased in ice. I guess I will just have to wait for the next onslaught.
