Extreme Sand Sculpting!
The Sultans of Sand
You saw that perfect sandcastle
in your dream - it was reaching to heavens, rising from the surf's mist.
It was magnificent and yet so eminently perishable. Welcome the Sultans
(and wizards) of sand art to make all that a reality - and more, with
incredible detail, creativity and imagination.
(Melbourne, Australia - love these skyscrapers in the
background - perhaps also "sand castles" of some sort...)
There are many fantastic sand art showcases / competitions around
the world: held in China, Spain, Brazil, Canada (the ultimate
"Tournament of Champions" in Harrison Hot Springs, British
Colombia), Florida, Oregon, Texas, Virginia... featuring such undisputed
masters like Amazin Walter, Rich Varano (The Sultan of Sand), William
Lloyd, Carl Jarra and Suzzane Altamare compete alongside artists from all
over the world.
Perhaps the most sophisticated fairy tale sculpture in recent memory
Too bad they are made out of sand, and so will be impossible to
preserve, other than in pictures. The traditional fantasy themes - sand
castles, dragons, maidens and other fairy tale details - are brought to
life so lovingly and with such abundance of detail that it simply
transcends the genre:

This is how it's done... slowly and with feeling (imagine
sculpting every single scale on that dragon) -

Time Mirror: on the left is "looking into the past", on
the right - "looking into the future"-
A life of the mundane, rendered in sand

my puns here)

A perfect family to inhabit all this sand real estate -

Sand people need to go to the sand outhouses to do their sand
business... "Occupied!" -

I hope this sand figure is not nude:
Nostalgia for winter... Blasphemy! -
If he tries to show accurate time, he'll be here sculpting all
night:

Trust Chinese to make creepy sand sculptures for the sake of
propaganda (more info) -
But this one is much better:
(sculpture by Edith Van de Watering "Nederland")
Even if you don't possess sculpting skills you can still impress
the beach crowd. There is definitely "more than meets the eye"
here -

Who's worshiping what? -
Well, of course, the problem with even the mightiest of sand
sculptures... there are going to be blown in the wind... smothered by
waves... no trace will be left of them...
