Every year in Belgium there is a sand sculpture festival where they stick to a theme. This year it is Disneyland Paris and they are shaping up to look great (though still a work in motion). There are sculptures of Main Street, the Castle, Pirates of the Caribbean, Phantom Manor, Big Thunder, Space Mountain, the Nautilus, Alice's Curious Labrynth and lots of characters.

I do not even have enough imagination to picture how anyone can do that...yet, there they are. Thanks for reminding me of just how little talent I have Dave. I'm lucky to draw a straight line with a ruler.

Originally Posted By Bolna Thanks for posting that video! It looks really impressive and I think it is a great partnership for both parties involved. Let's hope that this will bring many new guests for the sandfestival as well as for DLP. It was fun trying to understand the guy speaking Flamish. It sounded so familiar, but still I only understood single words...

I remember one year they had chalk artist outside the French pavilion. It was amazing also.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I think there must be something special about sand sculpters, or ice sculpters, or chalk artists. Just knowing they have created and brought enjoyment is enough. Like an actor or musician. A creator of a passing moment that inspires.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo vrai! That's right. It is like when I was younger, I travelled and went on many adventures, but never took a camera, only a journal. It was enough. sadly now, I regret it. But back then the cost of developing 24 photos was the same as the cost of buying a memory card that will hold 1000. Lol That might have had something to do with it.

Ya know as good as I does ya never manage ta git yer big lard bucket more 'n five inches off the ground if'n even THAT much--let alone 167 feet! So, stop tellin' davewasbaloo another one a yer many lies ya thinks gonna' make yerself look any better than the loser ya really is! (Sounds of low moans and groans followed by a deadly silence....)
