The following are some of the sand castles at a world class sand sculpture competition that is being held near here.
These pictures were sent to me by my aunt who lives two provinces away. I am always amazed at the magnificent pictures that people send me from far away of things that I have never seen that are literally located in my backyard!
Isn’t it amazing what people can do with sand? I have no idea how they get the sand to stay in place like that. Thanks for sharing.
Oh gosh – definately a place for me to stay away from with a Little 3 year old boy who just LOVES to jump on sandcastles – LOL! I made him castles especially just to jump on.
Cheers!

Those are absolutely amazing. Some of them look so lifelike. I can’t believe what some people can create.
I am always amazed by those sand scupltures!
BTW I get a lot of those “right in your backyard” photos too. It seems that everyone who visits Washington, DC sees more than I & I live here…
(Then again I keep going to see the things I like – like the zoo & the cherry blossoms…)
wow! thanks for the link
Those are amazing – thanks for sharing! Such incredible talent!
Amazing work. The amount of time and talent that goes into these temporary works is mind boggling.
What is holding the sand together?? They’re so amazing and your aunt is a great photographer.
Oh my goodness – how absolutely incredible! It would be tremendous to go see this some time. Fred and I honeymooned at Harrison Hot Springs 37 years ago. We’ve talked about going back sometime but so far have never made it.
Oh, wow. Every once in a while I see this on TV, and it always amazes me. These are really awesome – in the original meaning of the word.
these are amazing, Norma! WOW!
thanks for sharing the photos. It reminds me of a few years back when we went away on holidays down near the beach and there was a sand sculpture display there. We went along to have a look and were amazed at the detail of the sculptures.
Hi Norma, what great pictures! It truly is amazing what can be done with something as simple as sand. Can you imagine if we applied that same freedom and imagination to our quilts??? Wow!
I loved seeing them..you cover them better than the local news did. I think it got maybe 15 seconds and one photograph. Hugs, Finn
WOW! I can’t believe how intricate and gorgeous those are. Thanks for sharing.

I really am impressed by the houses in the second picture from the bottom – really amazing!
I’d want to spray it with some sort of plastic, to keep… lol
wonderful pictures. I am trying to catch up on the blogs from my absence last week. I had to laugh about your post on your new iron purchase. I thought it was only ME who had to purchase a new iron every 3-4 months. I will definitely investigate this one. Thanks for the link.
Wow, they are amazing pictures. Trying to get my head around the patience needed to create something like that! But then, some people say the same thing about making quilts.:)
Wow! Those are great. They must have very fine sand to be able to do that. Too bad they are not permanent.
