There is an amazing Sandcastle competition going on in treasure Island Florida in November.
Sanding Ovations 2017 is in its ninth year and draws tons of traffic to this wonderful beach.

This was a four-day competition and had 10 master sculpture artists from around the world including contestants from Europe, North America and Asia. These works of art were created just using sand and water to hold them together.
I am amazed that these are still standing even after a few storms have past through.
Here's a picture of my favorite created by Andrius Petkus, Vilnius, Lithuania.
This work of art was created by Abe Waterman, Prince Edward Island, Canada
And here we have Edith van de Wetering, Netherlands
Next up is another one of my favorites by Helena Bangert, Netherlands
And my hats off to first place- Jobi Bouchard, Montreal, Canada
The sculpture received a lot of attention by Ilya Filmonstev, Moscow, Russia- 3rd place
This one had more to it , On the other side was a man! By Sue McGrew, Tacoma, Washington
This one was created by Fergus Mulvaney, Dublin, Ireland
There were two more contestants that I missed due to low batteries, You deserve a big shout out!
Kirk Rademaker, Santa Cruz, California
Jooheng Tan, Singapore
I hope you enjoyed all my pictures and information on this event and thank you all for stopping by!

I love those lithuanian hands, they remind me of the 'wai' greeting in Thailand, fantastic work, upvoted and following.
Thanks for your reply, those hands were very nice to see in person. Next year am going to meet the artists and watch them in action. I just went and looked you have some nice pictures of Thailand!
