The Penguin Theme Continued

I spent some time today checking out the Winterlude sights. Unfortunately, the weather was a little nippier than I like, so I didn't spend very long outtside. I took some pictures of the more interesting ice sculptures. The constnat yearly appearance of mermaids confuses me. The winter/cold/Canada theme makes sense, but why the heck is there always at least one mermaid ice sculpture? I think this reveals volumes about the cultural impact Starbucks has had on us.

Ottawa Fringe 2007 is still in the planning stages. My contribution is going to be something special, I assure you.
