16 stunning sand figures (17 photos)

Magical sculptors often create amazing things from a variety of materials. So, for example, ordinary crumbly sand in the skillful hands of a creative person turns into real fairy-tale castles, realistic figures and unimaginable structures.





Since childhood, we have a love for sand crafts - Easter cakes in a sandbox or carefully built sand castles on the seashore. But for some, this fire goes out with age, while for others, on the contrary, it turns into a real flame, and sand creations become the main work of their whole life.

But, unfortunately, these masterpieces are short-lived, so quickly run to see our new selection of sand sculptures before they are washed away by the first wave.

The brain of this sand figure is shown as an intricate labyrinth. However, this is how it really is. Our brain with a thousand convolutions resembles a kind of labyrinth through which the most brilliant thoughts wander.
