We have beach contests every year and each time the artistry amazes me! I can’t believe they can create such works of art, only to have them destroyed.
Thank you, Dymoon. It’s all gravity and water. They use a sand whose grains are the right shape. Then theycompress it in blocks using forms. Then, they can carve it.
Magnificant ! Every time I see it, I wonder how the artists manage to create these statues.
We had also different sand sculpture festivals here in Belgium over the past years.
How awesome these sculptures are!! I appreciate you sharing this….takes me back a number of years ago when we were raising our girls in San Diego. They have the same thing and every year we’d make a point of going and looking at all of the sculptures!! Great captures….thanks for posting this!!
I love your Beach Sand Sculpting Festival – so many beautiful pieces of art! They’re currently building the highest sandcastle here in Europe, in Denmark I think. It’s over 20 meters high!
Fantastic!!
My sentiments exactly.
The detail artists are able to achieve on these is just amazing!
I agree. The details are phenomenal.
Wow! They are getting bigger and more detailed!
The latest thing seems to be to carve a void in the center. The gaps tend to be rather small though for obvious reasons.
I didn’t get down this year, so thanks for this post.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Judy.
