Well, has everyone already managed to enjoy the first winter days, spend a couple of hours warming up the car, freeze at stops, get caught in a strong piercing wind and stand under the first snow? Or else it will be in the next three months! Not necessarily unpleasant, by the way. In winter, as a rule, festivals of ice and snow sculptures are held, capturing everyone's attention. And today - just about one of these sculptures, the authors of which are an Italian sculptor Antti Pedrozo and Dutch-Portuguese artist Michael de Kok … Talented creators made a huge ice transformer from a huge block of pure ice, which was named Optimus Prime. Who does not know, Optimus Prime is a huge fighting robot, the leader of the Autobot tribe, the main character in almost all cartoons, comics and films about transformers. Now with a banana flavor! and in the form of an ice statue.
The ice giant is nearly 8 meters (26 feet) tall. Alas, he cannot transform and rush to the rescue of those who are in trouble. But the authors portrayed their hero fully armed, and even with the corresponding logo of the Autobot tribe on the chest.
Icy Optimus Prime, by the way, is not the only tribute to this amazing character, endowed with a peculiar charm. So, there are gigantic optimuses made of metal, rubber tires, and a lot of mini-variants of a transformer from a wide variety of "building materials".

People can love cats and be afraid of dogs, hate mice and breed fish. But I have not yet seen those who would be absolutely indifferent to rabbits. Decorative rabbits are cute and funny, children love to play with them. Wild rabbits are tasty and fast; men prefer to hunt them. Well, rabbit fur coats are worn with pleasure by those women who cannot afford a mink or chinchilla. Not indifferent to rabbits and the Swiss sculptor Christian Gonzenbach (Christian Gonzenbach), and therefore one of his
