We has a lovely day out in Weston today and whilst there we saw an exhibition of sand scupltures on the beach depicting continents around the world. It was quite amazing and started with the suitcases for each continent on the carousel......

That is unbelievable, I'm in awe!! How do they do that? :shock: The detail is incredibly realistic. And it will all be washed away when it rains?
