I've been meaning to get over to see the castle around sunset. The castle is formed by layers and layers of icicles. At night lit by LED lights.

GORGEOUS Mary!

(Robert, MOA is the Mall of America. It isn't the biggest mall in North America, the West Edmonton Mall is, but the are both owned by the same Canadian family)
