Sand Sculptures Festival in Haifa (June 2005) - Featured 27/07/05

...Dear Friend...this album is wonderful! You see - you managed to catch the moment...Those sculptures are so beautiful but they do not last...You made a lot for them and for us - all "viewers"...Tha nk you...I admire every and each of them that's why this time I will not pick my favorite. Have a wonderful day - Tami - grateful that you gave her opportunity to see those pictures as the first one here...:)

Dear Yair, I guess you took those two pictures of ladybird thinking of my admiration to those funny insects...;)...I am choosing my favorites here as I promised:) - this could be actually the second picture of ladybird...and - very good shot #8 - called "Universal Beauty"...friendly greetings from Tami:) - and thank you for this enormously huge insect;)

Hi Yair, So you were one of the lucky ones who made it to the festival and returned home in one piece...:-))) Superb work, thanks for sharing, Uriel

Wonderfulllllllllll !!!! I wish I were there :) I know also on Portugal's beach there are sand contests also :) Very nice

said alinaghibu 2005.06.16 at 08:04:50 PDT

wow, nice pictures and nice sand sculptures! I was this May in Scheveningen/The Hague/ North Sea. There was another festival there on the same subject ... but ... I think what you shown us is completly different! Good job Yair! OOps, I forgot to tell, this is adrian from bucharest, you can see another pictures ... not big deal ... whatever. :)

said sthadrian 2005.06.16 at 10:47:03 PDT

Hi Yair, this is a really enjoyable album on a fascinating subject! As someone that used to sketch and paint I marvel at the fact that these people can do such wonderful work just to watch it be washed away so quickly. You have done a marvelous job capturing the images and presenting them to us! Including the artists names and countries was an added bonus! Well done!! Jeanie

said soul0fgypz 2005.06.16 at 13:14:14 PDT

Hi Yair, Great photos thank you so much for sharing, There is some real talent here. Makes my childhood sandcastles look rather feeble. The real talent though is your magical photography. Thanks for calling at my site and you kind words Chris Charlie and Jay

said chrismary105 2005.06.17 at 17:37:20 PDT

Hi Yair, There is a lot of talent hidden in those sculptures. They are a lot of work. I'm glad I wasn't a judge in that festival, I wouldn't be able to decide which I loved best. Great job! Vicky

said angelika263 2005.07.02 at 06:23:06 PDT

Shalom Yair, thank you for inviting me to see this album of yours....kinda puts my sand album to shame really! But different levels....hey and sand quality maybe?!!!! :) Its so amazing the details in each of them. At the one held in Cannon Beach, Oregon they had a time limit of less than 4-6 hours to complete their entry. Do you know what the time span to work on their masterpieces took? Thank you for sharing such a fascinating event, your photos truly capture enormous detail that certainly does the artist justice in what they were trying to convey. Have a wonderful week and many thanks also for taking the time to view my albums. All the best and many happy blessings and peace, amy

said kester110 2005.07.05 at 09:15:56 PDT

Hi Yair, sorry for keeping you waiting. I am much too busy lately! This is a gorgeous album! I missed this wonderful event! So now, with your wonderful pictures it is as if I had been there! Great photography! It is not so easy to get a good picture of sand with sand and some more sand. It's a little like black and white photography I think! Not so easy but tempting! - Galit

My favorite is "Universal Beauty". It's fun. This reminds me that we share a common thread with people overseas (I am in the USA). I think it is an unfortunate common beleif, here, that Americans are way above just about everyone else. We are paid more for work here than other places, and it is a common conception that that is right. This art makes me feel people on the other side of the world are capable of as fine or finer work than our men. Americans try to hold on to our weath, but I'm glad exporting, gifting, and such happens so we can share a bit. God and Jesus'' blessings to all :-).

Hi Yair and greetings from Kentucky USA. I have enjoyed this album. Isn't it something people have such talent? I sometimes wonder if I have any. I see this was "featured" and let me say, Congratulations, even though it was some months ago. Take care, let me hear from you from time to time. May the New Year bring PEACE, to your part of the world. Take care friend... Darrell

said worldwide1001 2005.12.11 at 02:20:26 PST

Hello, Yair. I noticed you viewed my pictures, and I decided to view some of yours, and I have to say, they're much better than mine, and my favorite album is this sand sculptures one. Amazing what things people can do with sand, isn't it? Take care-Funkmon, from Detroit.
