After the Storm...

I threatened to give you more...
The sand sculptures in Rorschach have been finished
for a fortnight now. I went there the evening the
winner was decided (I spy...) but there were so
many people there that I didn’t venture
close!
This weekend after two days of catastrophic
rainfall having fallen since the prize giving, I
actually managed to take some pictures.
'What do they do if it rains?'
Global Librarian asked.
Well, you didn't actually mean torrential
rainfall, or did you?
If we are talking normal summer rainfall —
the surface of the sculptures can get a little
rough.
If we are talking medium catastrophe rainfall
— the surface gets a little rough and the
elements that weren't packed as solid as they might
have been collapse...
But here — judge for yourself:
Parts of my two favourite sculptures have collapsed
and the base of the sculptures are very rough, but
I find it makes them interesting.
BTW – if you want to see what the sculptures
looked like before the rain, you can
view them here!
