The World's Tallest Sandcastle and Other Sandsculpture Marvels 2
This sculpture won first place in a 2005 contest on Revere Beach.
Great detail on this gnomes-spinning-records display.
This sandcastel features color!
Hmm... he looks familiar...
This is how I feel after a long vacation.
Evidently, girls make popular sand sculpture themes, as well. I'm amazed at the texture in this mermaid's tail and hair.
Oh, the Brazilians... this shot was taken in Copacabana.
I'm not sure where this was photographed. Some nude beach somewhere, I guess.
This is just a girl getting some sun. Looks like her tan is pretty even.
This sculpture is called "Kong's Girl."
And finally, here are a couple of videos showing the opposite of sandcastle-building. These sandcastlers go to all the work to create sandy works of art, just to blow them up when they're finished. Sad -- but cool!

I happened upon this page and was surprised and pleased to see a few of my sculptures posted here. I made the rather over sized guy sitting, the mermaid and the sunbather. More of my sculptures can be found on Flicker (user name pangdad_62) I will be posting some new sculptures in the next couple weeks. Enjoy

Many years ago when I was a Connecticut high school art teacher, I used to take my art students to the beach to create sand sculptures...of course nothing as elaborate as these, but the students were very talented. They loved the challenge, loved the trip and so did I. I only hope they have continued to create sand sculptures.
