Artists from seven countries came together in Breckenridge this week to carve snow into awesome sculptures. They start with 12-foot tall blocks of snow that weigh about 20 tons!

The sculpture is intended to represent a moment of relaxation just after a children's game. And particularly, the sculpture is about Captian Clerici's childhood when the fountain represented the carefree joys of youth.

The nautilus, a relative of the octopus is the only cephalopod to have an external shell. The asymmetrical shell, a true "natural beauty", has fascinated naturalists, mathematicians and physicists for centruries with its perfectly proportioned spiraled shell. We can only hope to emulate its beauty if only for a fleeting moment in snow.

It comes from the sky, on its timeless journey through our lives to the sea. Water - giver of life, carver of continents. We capture it for the briefest of moments and suspend it against the sky. We cast our fleeting form upon it, telling stories of dragons and other glories. Our vision is short lived indeed, as it melts and resumes its journey downstream to the sea. And yet, in that fragile frozen moment, hearts are touched for a lifetime. Play on, ye minstrels of water!

Can a divided knot be not divided?
We start with the simplest possible knot, which we will then split lengthwise along the whole strand that forms the three loops. But there is a twist that may lead to surprises: the knotted strand is actually a triply-twisted Mobius band! Thus the question: Does our cut separate the structure into two pieces, or does it form a single, highly knotted, twisted strand?
