Playing in the Sand

These are some pictures of the sand sculpting. This is how they started, getting these round or rectangular molds full of sand and water, letting it set and get hard, then taking off the mold. They started on Wednesday and had to be done by Friday. They were all timed, taking breaks at the same time, etc. This was a big contest and these people came from all over the world to compete. This guy is Peter. He is just starting.

Then he had some bad luck. It fell, and he had to start over.

And again, it was timed, and he had lost a whole day, but he did pretty good.

This is Matthew.

He's actually making the holes here with a white tube, just putting wet sand around the tube, then he pulled it out.

Some kind of religious thing with Moses in front and the ark in back.

This is Damon Farmer. He actually has a website. He was posing for me. He is just starting here. What will it be?

This is Rich. This one actually ended up being mine and Bennie's favorite.

And these are the rest, pretty much finished. We had to leave before they were completely done, but, you get the picture.

And th-th-th-that's all folks!
