Default sandscape on the landscape

these sand sculptures seem to be getting more and more popular, on the beaches abroad. we have just returned from fuerteventura, were we saw these two, as well as quite afew others.
the fairytale castle had quite intricate detail involved.
i felt a bit inferior, with my bucket and spade, with my grandson!!!
the sculptors seemed to be getting quite a few euro's from the passersby too.
quite a talent, i thought.

Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
