This stuff AMAZES me!!! I never know how they do it but I am so glad they do!
I have never been to a sand festival. It looks so cool.
the great work ever i have seen
That’s amazing! I can barely make a sand castle, this takes real skill and vision
I am amazed at the amount of work that goes into each of these, I can’t build anything bigger than a basic sand castle.
I love this sand creativity. Thank you for sharing this post. 🙂
How fun! We live in Texas but have never been down there. I was actually thinking about it for this summer.
This is a really unique festival to be a part of. So amazing of these people who created such unique art pieces from sand.
This sounds like a wonderful festival to visit. We have a snow festival here in Japan, up north, that is the same idea.
Those are really cool sand sculptures!

Wow, what amazing sculptures from sand. That is so much talent. Will look forward to who the winner is in this upcoming challenge.

They are very artistic showcasing these creationa. But I admit it feels hurt seeing it get destroyed after the event.
Oh wow…these are unbelievably pretty
