This is an ice sculpture made by a lady in Timmins, Ontario for their winter carnival this year. I can see why she won.

Yes it was.


"How did the artist responsible for such an outpouring of appreciation get her inspiration? It started as it has grown, with an e-mailed image from a friend, a photo of an actual New York fire fighter at ground zero, with an angel digitally added, said Racicot. "

"The sculpture was crafted by Darlene Racicot of Ontario, Canada, to pay tribute to the courage of New York emergency workers for their actions following the September 11 terrorist attacks on America. Ms. Racicot's creation was her entry in the South Porcupine-Porcupine Winter Carnival ice sculpture contest, and pictures of her work drew widespread recognition and praise after they were posted on the web sites of the City of Timmins and Timmins' Daily Press newspaper.
