After breakfast we made our way to Weston-super-mare to see the sand creations at the Sand sculpture festival. The display was very impressive. There were a few free-standing sculptures: a man sitting, a donkey ride, a vw beetle and a castle. The main feature was a massive display of sealife. Leading intothe display was a recreation of the city seafront with buildings and the ferris wheel, set on a sea with boats and buoys bobbing in front. The display itself featured all manner of sea creatures from whales to sea turtles, walrus, seals, sharks, fish coral and even some swimmers and divers. It was fantastic the number of textures and effects that can be accomplished with sand. The sculptures were in the open air and we learned that the type of sand is crucial, because the sand used absorbs the rain without dissolving.
