Gabriola's Sand Festival is not the only place where you can appreciate the amazing skill of the sand sculptor.
Last weekend saw the 2009 Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition held at Parksville Beach on Vancouver Island. Despite some anxious moments on Saturday as the breeze swept in from the ocean, some fabulous results wowed the crowds. Photographs courtesy of the Oceanside Star.
