"Holy Sand Sculpture" Batman

[MrBishop]

Pictures below are from a beach in Maryland. Isn't the artwork awesome? Be sure to open up your screen all the way. The man creates new ones each day, as the ocean washes away his work every day.

This is Chuck Ritchey, Sr. I have watched this man work on the beach at Ocean City, Maryland. Each time I watch him I marvel at his talent and fortitude because it is true that his works get washed away with the tide and he does them again. He is certainly a witness for Jesus Christ as thousands of people, in the course of a day, view his work and watch as he crafts his treasures. May his message be viewed by many.

I can't really imagine having that much patience.

 

[Squiggy]

especially knowing how short it would live...

Yep, i couldn't do something like that, I remember getting really pissed off when my brother would take apart my lego creations. I'd just be pissed all the time then.

I think this is something more than simple patience. It's serenity.

 

[tommyj27]

It's a testement to patience and serenity...it reminds me of Tibetan Monks and the sand paintings...it takes days to make them, and the moment it's done, they sweep it up and give the sand away to any who want it.

Some people say that I have patience, because I work with 1" tall figurines and paint them in frighteneing detail, but I bow my head (pardon the pun) to this man's skills and fortitude.

Yeah but they do it to pass the time, stuck up there in the mountains with no chicls, could get kinda boring.
