They are excellent, do they mix the sand with something to help keep it together or is it just done with water?

Why does Jesus look like he's resting his cup on an unturned bucket?

(and why the long faces?)

(then again though - feast of the passover is a happy celebration - they look like a right miserable bunch!)

Oh sorry, I thought it was the last supper, not that I know much about things religious. Maybe smiles are difficult in sand sculpture.

I thought it was the last supper,

It is, only it happened on the night of the Feast of the Passover - happy, happy, happy

Oh right, just shows what I know about that sort of thing, so he didn't know it was his last supper then? You would think his Dad would have told him, he surely must have known, I mean he knows everything.

They are brilliant.

I wonder how long it would be before someone kicked them to bits if they were on our beach.

He might have done the Dad thing of...'Oh! By the way son, there's summit important I've got to tell you.........but I can't for the life of me remember what it is?'

Great pics.
We have sand sculture exhibitions here every year and what i read (about ours, anyway) is they are not made with beach sand, they are made with builder's sand and something is added to it. I forget what.
But it allows them to withstand normal light rain and wind for a few weeks. They can be very intricate and from what I can gather, some of the sand artists must move from place to place, contributing to exhibitions.

I know the exhibition here was not open to the beach like those in the above photos. It was closed off and people had to pay to go on and have a poper look.
