Pictured above is Bob Marley. Below is the Police, and next to them is the Yellow Submarine, which has each one of the Beatles staring out the windows. Overhead lighting frequently changes the color of the sculptures, which makes for some interesting effects on them. I would have liked to have seen a bright yellow on that submarine, but it never happened.
Prince was not included, until this week. Because of his untimely death many felt he should be included. An artist was working on him while we were there, which gave us an opportunity to watch a sand sculpture being created. Pictured below is Patrick Harsch. Off to his left side is a photograph of Prince during his classic Purple Rain years, which Harsch is copying from.
The festival has lots of things going on this week, in addition to the sand sculptures there is live entertainment, and on Pier 60 (pictured below) there are artisans and craftsman as well as street performers. A children's area with sand hills to climb, and sand boxes to play in suited Nathan just fine. Unfortunately it was a bright sunny day, standing in any of the lines for food or drink could get very uncomfortably warm.
