04F-16, "Light is the Glue" (December 18)
I got my kit together and hit the road. 0730 on a chilly but sunny
Saturday morning, riding my old Ritchey with its trailer loaded with
sand sculpture gear. Planned sand sculpture, head full of plans and
ideas.
The day wasn't the best. The sculpture's design didn't work; sunset light isn't bright enough for the effect I wanted. It fell over anyway due to engineering problems. Cracks showed when I was about 85% complete so I cleaned it up as best I could and took some pictures. I hoped it would last until after the sun set, but it failed about 15 minutes early.
