Sand Sculpture

Southbank
London

Came across this cool sand sculpture along the London Southbank. Never realised that the tide went so low in the Thames to expose small beaches (dirty ones!). These two guys spent hours sculpting the sand lobster. I liked the way the light hit the sand and the rest of the shot remained shades of grey.
