They've promised to come back next weekend if the weather is good.

Had a walk along there this morning and YES for once they have survived the night

Yes, I agree with Wangi -- I tried this image in b/w and colour. Colour is best.

Great to see the beach being used so innovatively, and to bump into some fellow PoL'ers.

This photo taken digitally - I also took my SLR and will post more when the film comes back.

The sculptures proved very popular with all the kids walking to Towerbank in the morning. Unfortunately they had been jumped on in the morning.

My photos here.
Not very good, I'm afraid, but nonetheless...

Thanks. I still have video and audio clips to add but I need to install some software on my laptop first so could take a bit longer. Did anyone notice if Martin and Antia were on the beach today?

Didn't notice them today.

Bearcub wore his POL t-shirt today - he got quite a few funny looks!

Are you sure it has got anything to do with the T-Shirt?

I've got lots of this vox pop stuff and I will be posting a small selection over the next few days. Here's the first:

really unusual

and another:

surprise

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 14 Sep 2005, 12:55

absolutely

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 14 Sep 2005, 13:07

beautiful

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 14 Sep 2005, 20:49

very, very good

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 14 Sep 2005, 21:06

Here's the last one. I've got a few more but I think you've probably got the flavour by now. I love doing this vox pop stuff and I'm sure that most of you will agree that this digital recorder 'gadget' has been a worthwhile investment.

Need to brush up my interviewing technique a bit though!

fabulous

Wow, truly amazing. The castle/village (starring our very own Rapunzel) was incredible.

(and fame at last

)

Really great sculptures but why has " dusty bin" got a smile on his face and what is he doing to that dog!!!???

I don't know how I managed to miss all this artyness on the beach last year!

Does anyone know how Martin and Antia prepared the sand they were sculpting from? Did they add summat or just stamp on it for a while first?
