When I was a tot, I used to build sand castles by filling a bucket with wet sand, turning it upside down to form a turret, and add enough of those to form more or less rectangular shapes that, at least in the eyes of a child, could pass for castles. Since then, I have seen real sand castles and have marveled at the patience and skill of those who build them. During every season, different artists excel at shaping the sand of the Cannes beach into all kinds of sculptures. We’ve seen the Mona Lisa, a pretty scary looking crocodile, different types of still lifes, and so on. While strolling along the Croisette around noon today (I know, it’s a rough life...), we saw this rather impressive sculpture and I promptly captured it for posterity. The original will be gone all too soon...
