Now that I have the reader accustomed to seeing the comments above the photo, I will put them on the bottom of the photo since that is the way most normal people do them.
Welcome to to Ft. Myers Beach Sand Sculpture Contest
This guy/gal must have really been a fast worker as they were not currently working on their piece and, as you can see, it is not exactly a simple one! I did not notice it had a bit of a 'lean' at the top when I took the photo.
Another shot of Disney theme.
The back side of the Aviator - this being Veterans Day weekend, this artist honors our country's vets.
Wild Kingdom. Although I am not sure what all this included in the final look, the alligator and elephant were well along.
Perhaps we could call this one 'Let Sleeping Bears Lie'. She had certainly come up with a design that eliminated working at any height!
Back to another shot of the Disney piece. He had a lot of characters in his work.
It amazes me how sculptures come up with designs which 'blend' parts of the work to provide structural support. Wonder if all sculptures have to have a little bit of engineer in them? Well, perhaps a lot of engineer come to think of it.
This artist has used a theme just for us. Becky particularly enjoyed this one and had me send Glynda a copy.
The other side of our Indian and his horse.
Finally, a real CASTLE - moat and all!!!!
A symbol of our existence surrounded by Infinity.
Who would have thought you could work with such small detail in SAND!! I still don't know what holds the little fellow up. The finishing touches make the sand VERY smooth.
Every castle needs a dragon, right?
It may not be Mt. Olympus but they did have Greek God/Goddesses.
If you were going under you would probably have YOUR mouth open too!!
Abandon ship!!! This was done in honor of the Lifeboat Crews along the coast.
These are Greek god/goddesses. Notice the grandmother goddess looking on.
I never figured out how this artist managed to do all of the upper work as I did not see a ladder anywhere. Perhaps he just started at the top and worked his way down?
This was an 'Infinity' symbol depicting a 'Here to Infinity' theme.
Don't let the baby fall off!!!
This one was most notable for how perfectly round it was and how they achieved the smoothness of all the surfaces.
This one depicts two pirates at the 'negotiation table'.
Here is is putting the legs of the table in with great detail. Hope you enjoyed the work!!!!
