The minute I saw this photo, I felt sorry for a poor guy. I assumed it’s a picture of a dying elephant. But later I realised it came from a site dedicated to sand sculptures. This exibit is located at Harrison Hot Springs, also know as “Harrisand”. Harrisand hosts a World Championships of Sand Sculpture, so if you visit it, you can’t miss having really great time. Check for more of amazing sand sculptures inside this post. I posted only those who manage to deceive, giving you impression it’s real thing not a sand sculpture. Be sure to visit this site for full full set of images. Another thing, previously I posted another life-like sand sculpture of Brazillian girl lying in the beach. Check it!

Oh my gosh! I would do absolutely anything to have a talent like that!
I LIVE IN CORPUS CHRISTI TX AND IVE ACTULLY SEEN SAND SCULPTURES LIKE THESE. EXCEPT FOR THE ELEPHANT. THAT ONE WAS REALLY AWSOME.
that is amazing!
wow those are awesome
HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY HAVE????
they must have a lot of time on their hands!
They Are Cool But Ehhh. Who Wastes There Time On Sand?
those last three are cool
The tide that comes to wash away
Our castles in the sand.
Our palaces that last one day
Will crumble in our hand.
The tallest waves grow in the sun,
They die in tiny streams.
They take our castles one bye one
They cannot take our dreams.
dayom!
And so Castles Made of Sand
Melt into the sea,
Eventually…
those are awesome!
That is awesome. I have seen cool ones, but that one takes the cake!
I’m with farted on this one.
DAYOM!!
bet you anything that took forever…but its still freaken awsome!!!!!!!!!
i would do anything for that talent
but sadly now all they have is pictures cus the world trampled it down…just like the real world…you take forever doing some thing good…but the world tramples it down…and all thats left is a memory…the memory of building it the acoplishment..then your crushed..leving you to bleed…just like love…but thats another story…
=^.^=
They must have to do that fast since the tide will wash it away if they don’t
Hooooooly shiat. I gotta pay one of these guys to build me a full-size sand palace. Then I could have my very own beach house! And it’s gotta be cheaper than conventional methods…
Broccoli, they don’t make them on the beach. They don’t even use normal sand…they use special sand that sticks together better. I’ve seen things like this and they are incredible.
It took 25 hrs to make “Arms Race” they were all made on a lake beach ie. NO TIDE The sand is normal beach sand, it is dug up and put into plywood forms, add tons of water and packed down hard with tampers. Harrison’s sand has a high clay and silt content so when packed it can be carved like you see here.

Is It Really Necesary To Talk Like This?
Those are so awsome!!
dude. talk about sand castles…
They are soo KOOL! I wish I had that kind of talent. It’s neat how people can create something spectacular out of nothing.
elephant was cute but it looked dead. (no efence)
and all the others look fake but they are real sand
(trust me been there)
Cool, cool. But it must take awhile, and who would build something only to destroy it?
I saw a sand mermaid and sand pharoh once in brighton beach in new york
i think its cool lol
wow…
excellent sand talents; whoever did them must have been spending their whole life =) on the beach!
Holy hell, that castle is AWESOME!!!
i wonder if you can live in it?
