Hey, what's up, dogs? A couple of weekends ago, my human took me to a very busy beach in Galveston, Texas, to see a Sandcastle Building Competition sponsored by the American Institute of Architects.
The entry lines were very long, but once we got in, we saw some incredible sandcastles!
This one is a replica of the Downtown Houston skyline.
Some more Houston spirit here...You can see the logos of the Houston Astros, Houston Rockets, and the Houston Texans!
And this sandcastle below is a tongue-in-cheek representation of Houston highway traffic...
There were a lot of world landmarks represented in the competition. For example, the Egyptian pyramids...
...Pompeii, Italy...
...and the city of Petra, in Jordan. This city was featured in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Our archaeologist friend Little Fox should take a picture here!
This one is my personal favorite. It represents the replacement of brick-and-mortar establishments (like Toys 'R' Us!) by Amazon.
There was also a tribute to the Beatles, appropriately entitled "Yellow Submarine."
All right, that's the end of my sandcastle adventure. Time to head home and wash the sand off my paws...Till next time, everybody!
Nice! There's a sand-castle building competition up in Parksville every summer. We went a year ago but didn't make it this year. As you say... the lines are often very long!
ReplyDeleteThose contests are awesome. I liked the one with the traffic.
ReplyDeleteYes....it was the only time I've ever enjoyed looking at traffic...
DeleteWow those are amazing! Did you try making one?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not. Seeing all the amazing entries kind of intimidated me...
