Sand
Sand has many uses. So many in fact, it can boggle the mind. For example, it’s commonly known uses range from play sand, for use in the building industry with concrete, bricks and glass and for use on roads when the cold, icy weather hits us. It’s also used in the production of silicon computer chips. We've all built sand castles, but did you know that the tallest sand castle in the world was created in 2015 by Ted Siebert and a team of 19 on behalf of Turkish Airlines. It was created in Miami, Florida, USA with the sandcastle eventually measuring 13.97 metres tall (45ft 10.25 in) and used 1,800 tonnes of sand.
The art of sand sculpture as in my snap, began a very long time ago, though documented evidence only starts about 500 years ago. During the 14th century, records show that poet Balaram Das created devotional sand sculptures in his native India.
In the end, I simply stood back and marvelled! Such art from something so simple. Collage includes other works of art!
