Sand Dome Not Needed

April 6, 2014: Zhang Yan of China works on a sand sculpture titled 'Siberian Railway & Vladivostok as the Capital of the Far East' at the Sand Museum in the Tottori Dune in Tottori, Japan, on April 3. The 7th Annual Sand Sculpture Exhibition, hosted by the museum, features the theme 'Russia' this year as a tribute to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. The exhibition is open to the public from April 19 to Jan. 4

Very cool indeed. Thanks, nice pic, but someone will post that there should be one more rivet on the boiler? Or one fewer?

People who do sand sculpture are very good artists and craftsmen. I went to a sand sculpture festival in Hawaii and found the sand has to be just right, and stay moist during their work. Thanks for posting.

Oooo, I could have wonderful fun with a can of ScotchGuard ™ there.

But that is a really cool sculpture, so I'd probably be good.

Too bad when the festival is over that this masterpiece will return to it's origin.

That reminds me. I was on a cruise and a passenger asked the Maitre d' what they do with the ice sculptures after they melt.
