Lonely
This dog was sitting out in the snow barking at who knows what. When I stopped the truck, it looked at me for a few seconds, then went back to barking.

Ice chips flying!
One of the artists deep in concentration. Amazing they worked for hours and rarely even glanced at the large crowds watching them.
