If you\u2019ve looked around the site much, you know there are several galleries of New Orleans-related ice sculptures on this site, but I wanted a better way to tie it all together. Because most of the ice sculptures that we do are in New Orleans, many of them are also about New Orleans, in one way or another. And since we all know that Nola is a weird and wonderful place, you get some unusual ice sculptures here that don\u2019t show up elsewhere.<\/p><div class=\"spacer\">\u00a0<\/div><p>At last count, there were 26 other ice sculpture galleries on this site.
