Robert,

It is amazing. Not sure how long it took. I sure as heck could not have done it. This is a big event in lower BC, Canada. Those who participate are good, very good.

Wow, that is absolutely amazing.  I can't even imagine how long that would have taken to construct.

Hi Steve - Stunning photo.  One of my favorite things each year at the Orange County Fair is the huge sand sculpture that depicts the theme of the fair.  There are probably about 100 volunteers who work on parts of it for about a week to complete it.  Happy Sunday!

What a great scultpure. The attention to detail is quite impressive. Any idea how tall this is?  It is difficult to tell from the angle of the photo.

That is such an amazing sculpture so detailed I can't believe they were able to do that all with sand.

Hi Steve,

Wow, great sand sculpture! I sense a Fairy Tale theme here...with Puss in Boots and Rapunzel at the far left. Very nice!

I would have thought you would have had better things to do with your Sundays then build sand stuff! Oh well, every man has his sink hole. Mine is Anheuser-Busch products!!!
