- Boshow, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17From far away it just looks like the worlds largest pile of sand.
- kousi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Not to be confused with 'uncommon rain'.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8well the sandman is especially interesting because it's free-standing.
- WillyVolk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8But up close, that sandcastle is pretty amazing.
The other pictures are cool, too. My favorite is the castle with the lights inside. - wes00mertes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Said it was made using driftwood and sand. I'm guessing the diftwood held it up. I'm more surprised by the drip castle that arches...
- saleem, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Oh those Brazilians indeed...
- seanhive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6beautiful stuff
- wes00mertes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6My favorites: The town with the colorful river, the dragon (details are amazing) and the drip castle that has what appears to be a wire bridge on top. Those all must've taken an ridiculously long time to create and it is certainly appreciated. Until tide.
- Aaronraw, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5That one guy built a scale model of Blackrock Mountain, amazing!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4That is a pretty big one but i found some very impressive ones at http://pileofphotos.com/view/56/Incredible-sand-sculptures that aren't as big, but the detail is just amazing throughout them all.
- edzz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6EMO!
- WillyVolk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5What about the life-sized girls?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4I wonder how they did the life-size sandman?
- azntomboy26, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I went to a sandcastle competition in Texas and the wood was used mainly for making various sized blocks of sand, then they carved it out like they do with ice sculptures
- DiggerDoombot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It'll look nice until Sandy McSanderson sees it. =(

- babybitch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2seahorses!!!!!
- gamemaster357, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3imagine making some of those...just to know they will get washed away
:[ - n1n9teen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Those inconsiderate bastards. They took all the sand! Think of the fun-loving children for once.
- swifty12, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I actually saw some of those in person, the ones from virginia beach. They showed the big ones here, but many times the small ones are more interesting. They are much more intricate and technically impressive.
- Lukinator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I actually thought that was a real barrel for a second!
The sand looks just like the grain of a piece of wood.
Awesome. - DiggerDoombot, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4A sand replica of Brokeback Mountain would be interesting and go against the grain.
- th3heretic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2And to think, one rock could destroy most of them.
- mortigon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Until some bully comes along and STOMPS ON IT!!!!!!
- WillyVolk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Lot of good ones there!
- Balk2K, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1My favourites were the videos at the end where the sandcastles explode
How could you guys miss the "REAL DRAMA AS AWESOME SANDCASTLES ARE BLOWN TO BITS..."? - jester55, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i wanna take a baseball bat to the sandman.
- Canadianb123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Does anyone else have the urge to just go to any of those sand castles and just kick them to pieces, just to watch everyone stare in awe?
- f4nt0m4s, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2i wonder how many of these get ruined halfway because of rain
and sadly i'd bang some of those sand babes! hot stuff! - iFox, on 10/11/2007, -11/+5WOW LOOK AT THOSE WOMAN'S BUTTS
lol - geoffg, on 10/11/2007, -7/+0Think of how much beach life was displaced for the sake of humankind's vanity.
- geoffg, on 10/11/2007, -11/+1Great, just another example of mankind ruining the natural environment!
