sandcastles

We’ve all built a sandcastle of three in our lives. Some of us still do. Some of us have made it a passion entering competitions around the world. There is something intrinsically endearing about the fragility of a sandcastle that makes the process of building it, so much more satisfying than marveling at the finished product.
The art of sandcastles encompasses a joy of the beach, an eye for design, a love of sunshine and a resignation to the surf. There’s also the shared appreciation of onlookers.
So what pray tell is the best sand to work with? What is the secret to the level of moisture in the sand? And what is the record for the tallest sandcastle?
Here by thy sandcastles, tread carefully, and don't forget to apply sunblock, you could be here awhile.
Some people have got far too much time on their hands! But hey, I'm impressed!! Surely the bigger the sandcastle the more upset when it comes down? My favourites here are the last one, man that is one mother of a sandcastle! The black humourist in me finds the 9/11 depiction rather amusing. I love the huge head buried in the sand, and the dragon eating the man. But my ultimate fave is the hands covering the head. Some fine sandiwork there indeed!
