Ice Lantern

Mary made ice lanterns for Christmas this year. I was intrigued... A much softer version. I rather like the ethereal effect.

For those of you who don't know, an ice lantern is simply a hollow mass of ice with a candle placed inside. To make one, pour water into a largish container, let it freeze partially, then pour out the liquid water from the middle. Put the lantern wherever you want it, (usually along the front sidewalk), add the candle, and light it. This only works in subfreezing weather.
