I was just setting up this picture to get a shot of these fellows from Japan working on the details of their sculpture when the lunch break air horn went of just prior to me hitting the shutter! So, I have no idea how they didn't fall off the top of that thing, cuz I sure jumped a mile! You'd think they'd use a better method of alerting all of the builders..after all, they're working on very fragile canvases!
The magic begins. Who would have thought that they used big ol' boxes to build their castles! I thought it was buckets and shovels!
This poor lady from France had the worst job! As she was moving around the muck in these forms, her team mates were tossing mud and water up into the form she was standing in..creating a mud bath every 5 seconds or so!
Another one of the mud slingers
Washing off for the lunch break. Each team has their own "watering trough"
A few of the castles that were built. I think this one was done by a team from Norway or Finland

The sleeping wolf
Not sure what this is..but the detail caught my eye.
How do they make sand DO that??
This one was called "Connect the Dots" and I have NO idea why
I took this one for my brother..hehe Yep..a mining sculpture!
This may have been from the US team
I liked this teeny little paper airplane
The airplane was with this sculpture..in comparison to where this lady (actually supposed to be a girl, but she was naked, and I don't promote child porn, so it's a lady to me lol) is sitting, it would be at the bottom left of the picture.
I really liked the lily pads and how these figures reminded me of the Willow Tree figurines
I sure liked this one..it was the back side of the one with the figurine looking ladies. Simple, yet interesting!

I tried building sandcastles once. Well...a small one, but I could never find anyone who wanted to build with me. By the way I LOVE LOVE LOVE your shot of the barn. How I wish I had time to go picture takeing...can't do everything. I am really tempted to paint that barn pic. Will let you know if I do...it is just screaming "Paint me in watercolors."
What an awesome art form....unbelievable skill must go into these creations!! I'm with you....how do they do that??
PS....I "borrowed" the last pic and put it on my Blog in memory of 9/11. Once again I gave you the credit and sent people your way....Thanks Krista....I live vicariously thru you, LOL
This is great info to know.
