castles made of sand

These sand sculptures, found at Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, are an unusual, but hopefully interesting topic. The skills and inspiration that went into making them reminded me of the artistry of some of my pbase friends, and to them I dedicate this gallery. Links to many of these talented photographers are easily accessible on my 'favourite artists' page..

I am so glad I found this gallery. Not only is it filled with wonderful photographs but also moving tributes to names that have become familiar to me in the past year. Having been involved with pbase for a little over a year now I have discovered some of the people written about here. After viewing this gallery you can be sure I will check out the names I don't know. You are a very talented photographer David and a fantastic writer! ~V~

Superbe série sur ces sculptures de sables. V

Peter Sussex		02-Jul-2008 19:34
This unique concept is developing day by day and sooner or later I'm going to become an addict, 'cause every evening I come here and waiting for 'Who'll be the Next'. I find the connection between the images you have chosen and the persons. Go on with this collection as long as you can! Great work!
