Starting Off By the time I got down there with a camera, we were already many feet into the process. |
Continuing progress Melih and Barry, as some of the tallest, started things off; that's Paul in the background helping to gather the snow. |
Scaffolding in Earnest Around here we realized that minimal scaffolding just wasn't going to cut it. |
Building Up Whee! |

Packing the Sides Justin started taking care of getting the lower levels safe by adding more snow there. A good plan... |
Topping things off... ...or at least that's what we thought we were doing. |
Melih uses up our scaffolding We're going to need something larger |
More scaffolding! Hehe. |
|

Packing the scaffolding We'd really rather that nobody died whiel doing this. |
Climbing up I think we're all kindof surprised that nobody was killed |
Higher! Higher! We can still get a few feet on there... |
Adding a tower This just makes things that much better. |

Final Packing Gotta make sure it all stays up now. |
Group Shot Thanks, random passerby! (Jan, Tik, Tim, Dave, Melih, Justin, Ilya, Barry, John, Deyu, Alek, Paul) |
Scale It's good to show scale every now and then. |
Spire and Ring The scaffolding went into creating the ring. |

Finished Product Note the little family in the background... |
Two Levels of Worshippers There's the little snow family, and there's us. |
Ring Around The Spire More scale effects. |
Ring Around The Spire, II We think the ring was 6' away from the spire... |

Ring Around The Spire, III Was I in this picture? I can't tell. Ithink so. |
Spire and Sky A decent shot, I think. |
Spire and Ring, II A good overview shot. I miss that field in the background; it's now a parking lot. |
Perspective Shot This looks good. |

Snowball Fight Okay, so just building wasn't enough. Sometimes you have to destroy too, even if just a little bit. |
Snowball Fight, II I won't say whether I stayed behind the camera to avoid being hit. |
