Knockout

Winter in Minnesota is long and cold. To ensure that people see the sun at least a couple times a week, the city of St. Paul has the annual Winter Carnival. It is an outdoor carnival complete with ice sculptures, ice castles, snow slides, and parades. There is a parade where King Boreus of the North processess down one of the main streets in St. Paul, followed by the troublesome Vulcans, fire spirits who ride around in a vintage fire truck. There is an annual ice carving cometition as well as the "medallion hunt," where a golden medallion is hidden in a snowbank somewhere in the city. The local paper will run clues every day that hint at the locatin of the medallion, and whoever finds it gets a cash prize.

    @lorrainehealy haha, yeah. The other pictures were pretty dark and hard to make out, so they might only add texture. The Kodak CN was really the best film for the job. I love that film so much that I'm willing to pay jacked-up prices on Ebay to obtain it.
