What a day this has been. This morning I was at a U3A presentation, home for a quick lunch then out again this afternoon. Just got home again now, long enough to post today's photo, have a quick shower and then we are off out again for dinner tonight with friends. I will try and catch up with 365 tomorrow.
For four months each year Frankston waterfront is transformed as over 3,500 tonnes of sand is carved into spectacular sculptures. Each year there is a different theme and this year the theme is Friends, Foes and Super Heroes.
We decided to call in at Frankston while we were driving up the coast to our daughters when we were in Victoria recently.
As today is my usual Friday people day I thought I would post a photo of one of the sculptors at work touching up one of the artworks.
Over the next two days I will post collages of some of the Star Wars characters sculpted in sand. They really are amazing and such a lot of work goes into making the sculptures. Such a shame that after four months though they disappear, never to be seen again.
@darthkitty I've just looked at another photo of the same sand sculpture and it doesn't look a lot better when you can see the whole thing. haha. I will have to post that one just for you soon and see what you think.
I have just showed this picture to David and he can't stop laughing.
Me either Babs, I have had tears rolling down my face. @darthkitty and I scrolled your image at the same time and my reaction was WTF and hubby's was "is that a foot or just six inches ". Oooh Babs you have made our night :)))))))))
@hermann This conversation isn't going to sound any better, but it is a mouses tail. ha ha ha. At least I think it is, he has got a smile on his face too.
Those sculptures just amaze me! So much effort going into these beauties and then they are washed away. Glad people like you take photos of them to preserve them foreever!
@paulaw@terryliv I shall have to look more closely before I crop a photo again, ha ha. although having said that when I looked at another photo of the same scene it didn't improve it by showing the whole picture.

Interesting - thank you.
