Sand World is a tourist attraction in Travemünde at the Baltic Sea. They show sculptures made of sand... We've been there yesterday, early afternoon, sun high on the sky and temperatures around 35° (Celsius, measured in the shadow). I didn't think of using a sun blocker, so I got not only pictures, but also a hefty sunburn. Anyway it was quite a lovely day...

The motto of this year's exhibition is "Circus". The exhibition covers pretty much everything. A few examples are: The Roman circus, the Russian, Asian and American circus, and personalities like Oleg Popow and Houdini. The sculptures have a height of up to 6 meters. More information can be found at the Sandworld homepage.

These pictures show only a fraction of the exhibition. I hope Irma will post some more...

Great captures - well done guys. I feel like I was there.

All are great accounts of what must have been a fantastic time. The sculptures are so detailed. Great shots G and Irma. Also Irma, your last two of the kids are exceptional. Well done my freind.

I'm always amazed by what people do in this most temporary of mediums. Really amazing art and amazing captures photographically.

That's so cool...obviously the creators don't have any older brothers!! LOL
