When a pipe and button nose just won’t cut it anymore…
Snow can be either a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it. But no matter their initial feelings about their surroundings suddenly being covered with frosty white powder last week, the net users in Japan made the most of the situation. Letting their creative juices flow, the impromptu artists brought some life to their otherwise flat, white winter wonderland.
▼ It took two people three hours to sculpt this Honda NSR500. Let’s hope it lasted for more than three hours!
夜12時から三時間かけて、雪でNSR500を作った！
