Rooftop snow sculptures created by a savvy resident of the Urals (PHOTOS)

A huge ‘eagle’, a sleeping ‘bear’ and a twisting ‘python’ have already appeared in the town of Lysva!

A resident of Lysva (Perm Territory) has gone viral after photos of his snowy rooftop masterpieces were posted online.

Nikolai Karelov molds various animals, such as an eagle, a bear and a python, as well as different fantasy ornaments – right on snow-covered roofs.

He claims he made the sleeping bear cub in just two hours, but the eagle took him a whole day. 

Nikolai is a People's craftsman of Perm Territory. He is a woodcarver by profession and makes snow sculptures just for fun!
