As the entire USA freezes with sub-freezing temperatures, let’s go back 6 months and venture on the beach at Cannon Beach, Oregon. An annual event is held here where sand sculptures are created by several enthusiasts. This year's sand castles competition was stunning - the best yet!! The competition starts with the tide going out. The judging must be completed before the tide comes in and washes the work away. That gives everyone about 6 hours. Some pretty fancy work for a short time! There are ribbons and awards for the competition, but no money is involved. Enjoy a few of these sand sculptures. Incidentally, the Nativity that was created at the Vatican square this past Christmas was also made from sand.
