L. Livius v. c. et. inl. procos. pr. omnibus in foro sal.
Here in Vinnipega, the capitol of the Canadian portion of Transborealis Silva, we have an annual winter festival, the Festival du Voyageur. A long-standing tradition at the Festival is to have a snow-carving competition. This year I was delighted to see an entry by a team from Steinbach entitled "Colossal" which is described by the artists (Lyle Peters, Garry Funk, Jac & Seth Heinrich) as: "A partially carved Coliseum in Rome using the space remaining in the foreground to include a large Roman statue."
I had the joy of running into this stunning piece of winter art this past weekend:
I was chuffed to find some live Romanitas in my own backyard!
Valete.
