Sandcastles and Sunsets

---

This is not a long entry, just adding it for the shots. I went back to Patong for a last day on the beach and built a massive Sandcastle. (Nick, imagine my horror at not having Taz, Leon and Dan with me for cover! People knew I was building it because I WANTED TO.)

Anyway, I built this massive Egypt themed thing and became a beach celebrity, all the tourists, mostly Korean, wanted pictures of the castle but not just the castle, them WITH ME and the castle. It was fun.

And then, the one day I do not lug my Nikons with me, I get the most incredible sunset -- snapped these shots with my little IXUS.

Front Entrance and Pillars
Nick, the pillars are totally round!

From the side...
Three pyramids.... and a hole to the water! (Delph, look at the sandicles!)

Me and Sunset
This is REALLY what it looked like. No filters, no photoshop.

sandicles & professional castles
I'm delighted that you learnt a useful skill from me in making sandicles, and I'm simply awestruck at the professionalism of your sand architecture - are you sure you weren't a slave driver in the Egypt of yesteryear?
