Sandcastles revisited

Remember all those nifty sand sculpture pics I posted last week from Port Aransas? Well, the official SandFest page has been updated with many, many more pics, along with the winners' list. It's interesting to note that some of the sculptures differ markedly from what we saw when we were there. The sculptor crafting himself is quite different--the version we saw had the sculptor positioned right up against the carving, working away with a chisel and brush. So either these pictures were taken Friday before the rains damaged the sculptures, or on Sunday after all the rebuilds and repairs were completed. Either way, there's some neat stuff here to view. Check it out at http://www.texassandfest.com/ (a word of warning, tho--they have a steel drum rendition of "Under the Sea" programmed to blast through your speakers when you arrive at the site, so you may want to make sure your computer's sound it turned down or off).
