Sand Sculptures in
Bellingham

Posted August 20, 2007
Saturday, there was a promotional "Sand in the City"
show in Bellingham which we looked in on. They had brought in a few
truckloads of what turned out to be fairly coarse sand, mixed it with a bit of
Portland cement, and plopped it around in piles in one of the boat harbor
parking lots. Groups of semi-professional sand carvers then made
sculptures with various themes in about 12 ft. by 12 ft. plots. They did
reasonably well within these severe constraints, but nothing was amenable to
attractive photographs because of these small plots, which left most of the
picture being things around the parking lot and promotional signs. Still,
it was fun and Harry and I snapped a few pictures as a record of the show.
