A CHRISTMAS STORY IN ICE - THE NATIVITY - PART 3

 This is the very last exhibit.  The Nativity I believe is there every year, though the first part of the ice show changes.  On the right is Gregg's silhouette.

Even though I enjoyed the other area very much, this was my favorite.   Not many more words needed while I share the photos we took.















The angel was on the other side of the space.  It towered over our heads and became illuminated.  I couldn't stop taking photos.










The is the last of my photos from our trip to 
The National Harbor in Maryland.
I hope you have enjoyed.

Thanks for visiting and wishing you all a very happy week.

  10. Awesome all inspiring spectacular glittering! I love it love it love it! It's like a giant sized Nook full of glass. I do love the nativity festival and I love the candles on the east side of the angel. I can't even imagine how many photos I would have taken if I had been there with you. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing these gorgeous pictures

    1. I can just see this in your Nook Sandra, maybe more of a miniature-sized Nativity :) Those candles glow gold with the illumination effect. It was gorgeous, hard to capture in a photo. You are very welcome and am very happy you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

  13. This is astounding! And most of the ice is so clear that it looks like glass. I am just horrified that they let it all melt at the end of the season!
