These pictures are of a sand sculpture at Grace Community Chapel near my home. The first picture shows Dan Belcher of sand sculpture world-wide fame working on the 2013 sculpture for the chapel’s annual sand festival. He has done one of these sculptures every year since 2008 at the chapel for their sand festival. The second picture is an HDR rendering of three bracketed photos taken today, 3 days after the sculpture was finished. It rained very hard during the night last night and deteriorated some of the lower portion of the sculpture. Dan Belcher is known world-wide for his talent, winning many awards. You can see more pictures of his sculptures at his web site.

John 4:14
Jesus said “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Have a GREAT DAY!

How long do these sculptures usually last?

They usually last 2 to 3 weeks depending on the weather. Hard rain is real destructive to the sculptures. And rain promotes the growth of weeds on and around the sculpture. They are beautiful for as long as they last though. Thank you for looking and your interest. And, thank you for your work with the photos with Bible and Hymn verses. They are beautiful. Have a GREAT DAY!
