Finland Kakslauttanen _DSC18501
After finding the outside window of the Snow Cathedral at Kakslauttanen's Igloo Hotel, we had to have a look inside. 'Cathedral' might be a slight exaggeration, when 'chapel would nicely describe it, but it was beautifully decorated with ice sculptures, all carefully back lit, to contrast against the main window in the back. An alcove on the right gives access to the 'Snow Restaurant'. It's tricky to photograph here, as it's effectively all black and white, except for the daylight, and getting the contrast right is tricky, not to mention the white balance... In the end I had to give both quite a bit of a tweak in Photoshop! Continued...
