Elaborate Sand "Castles"
These are some of the most intriguing works of sand art I have seen.  The first shows the sequence of steps, and a finished product.  I observed these at a Zen Buddhist Monastery in Kyoto, Japan. Below are pictures of sand art others have witnessed.

The result is a fine finish. Some designs are large scale.
Some students from India provided these sand art photos of Hindu deity representations.

Lest anyone be offended over the Buddhist and Hindu sand art, someone sent me these. Jesus is with the Twelve at the Last Supper...  at the beach And Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice
