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.

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!
