Imprisoned Octopus, for DerangedSnowman contest

avatar

I submit this for DerangedSnowman Contest by @carlgnash -- dont skip it momentarily, the snow is not necessarily required to take part in this splendid fun contest! oh, and did I forget to mention a great prize pool of 275 steem and 3500 CCC?.. Check all the rules at the link above; just mind: deranged, weird, curious and otherwise unusual snow people accepted as valid entries. Contest will run through December with winners announced in January.

so.... an Imprisoned Octopus!

Location: Park Pobedi, St.Petersburg, Russia.
Materials used: pure white snow, and nothing but snow (well, except of the hands, as well). So, its quite an eco-friendly octopus!

Why an octopus, one may ask? Well... I am fond of sea creatures since my teenage years (too much reading books about coral reefs is to blame!), and my 10 y.o. babygirl is extremely fond of octopuses, it is one of her favourite creatures. We always stop by, whenever we see some at the shop, and I obtain sea food from time to time, and sometimes just fish in small quantaties, just for she could touch and hold it a bit in her hands. Weird? Well, maybe. Humans are weird creatures...

We had an evening walk to the local Auchan mall to have some pizza, and on the way back home, we felt a bit inspired by the fish section, so this turned out into spontaneous snow fun.

Luckily, I had the camera with me, on the next day I returned to shoot it again in the daylight, but it was already ruined... Snowmans' life is too short, as the lemmings say...

For us here, not having snow, it seems fascinating. Living with it day in and day out may be not so. Keep it coming.

Yes, I can imagine that would be the case, and the cold would probably get tiresome I suppose. Have you lived in an area that get's winter snow all your life?

хыыыы! преотличный коммент ))))

эта, если ты не горишь принципиальностью, то я повторюсь: не обязательно из снега!!!! устроитель как раз ради демократичности, говорит что готов принять всё!! глину, пластилин, всё что угодно. хоть рисовые колобки. лишь бы были deranged и постраннее, и потрешовее!
