26 SEP 06 WORLD'S TALLEST SAND CASTLE

The Neptune Festival is this weekend and there is always a sandcastle competition
This is being touted as the world's tallest

Maybe so . . . but it doesn't have all the pizazz and flare that the smaller on es have =D




Canon PowerShot S2 IS
1/400s f/4.5 at 6.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice to see it - I just couldn't bring myself to walk one more block!!

Marvelous shot, nicely presented.

Still, it is pretty cool. But I agree, I like the pizzazy ones

I couldn't bear to build these, as they'd be destroyed in no time. It would be cool to see them being built.

I've seen these contests. These people are true artists. And create in a medium that will disappear. this is just an awesome sand sculpture.

YES! Inside Lynnhaven Mall few (!!) years ago . . . I have some vintage shots on film. Remember that stuff?

Do you remember the one that use to be in the mall?

That's a lot of work.

Awsome!! How long did it take? How many people worked on it? I assume it doesn't rain that much in your part of the country!!!!!

We have a festival here that always has some pretty nifty ones as well.
Imperial Beach is the hosting spot and I believe it's world famous!

I love it. These things are fantastic. What fun to be able to photograph it.

These always amaze me. This one has sooo much detail that I will study it for a while--like the fingers on the right--I'll have to think about that.

That is so cool!
I can write my name in the sand! That is the extent of my sand talent!
