Sand sculptures

At the beginning of September, we visited our Mamma's cousins in Jelgava city. Our relatives kindly took us on a tour of the city, which included a stop at one of the local parks, where we saw an exibition of sand sculptures. These sculptures were made this summer as a competition of international sculptors from all over the world. The topic of the exibition is "Circus", as you can very well guess it from the pictures. All the sculptures are covered by some protective layer, wich preserves them in such harsh weather conditions as rain and strong winds. However, still some parts of the sculptures have already collapsed. We were told that during winters, the same park hosts another competition of sculptors - but in cold season, they make sculptures of ice!!! The ice sculptures stay in the park until spring, when the warmer weather comes and they melt. :) You can take a look at more scupltures here: sand sculptures
