Thanks for finding this wonderful Snow Sculpture of the Angel Comforting the Firefighter.

I did some digging and found some very informative links with details of where the sculpture is (Timmins, Ontario, Canada) and the artist (Darlene Racicot).

Firehouse.com, the Firefighters web site, has front page coverage and two feature pages on the Sculpture...

Pix of sculpture, artist, and another view of the sculpture with a human standing beside it - the sculpture is 10 feet tall and 15+ feet wide!

A quote from the artist...
She hoped to touch others as, "my husband and I felt really helpless when (Sept. 11) happened.

"We gave blood and donated to a fund, but being this far away what can you do? You wanted to do so much to help, but you can't. This is my way of giving back a little bit, letting them know we're thinking about them here."

The sculpture made a great impression locally as well.

"I've had phone calls like you wouldn't believe, people bringing me things like gift certificates and baking. Everybody who came here to look at it knocked on my door to say how moved and touched they were.

"I was overwhelmed -- I really didn't think it was going to have that much of an impact. I was happy it did, but it was unbelievable."

Ironically, Racicot, who had won first place for a number of years, had thought she'd sit this year's competition out, to allow others their place in the sun. When she saw the picture, she was so moved she felt she had to act on it."

Thanks again, Zipp! I hadn't visited Firehouse.com this week and might not have seen this if it weren't for your thoughtful post.
On behalf of ALL us firefighters - Thanks for Remembering!
