Description

"The temple of art is built of words. Painting and sculpture and music are but the blazon of its windows, borrowing all their significance from the light, and suggestive only of the temple's uses." ~ Josiah Gilbert Holland

"All right, then, get back to your temple before you give us all galloping religious mania!" ~ Doctor Who

Here is a belated homage to this month's Gommie, Akemi (nongo). She has the "Zen Eye" for finding art in nature and seemingly whatever she turns the viewfinder of her camera upon. Her recent "Beach Art" photograph reminded me of this one I had taken not too long ago on Cumberland Island. I stumbled out of the dunes and onto a deserted stretch of beach to find this sand sculpted devotional. Whether is was made by man or crab may never be known... Congrats again Akemi on the Gallery of the Month award. You deserve it! ----- Thank you for your little puffy comments on my last upload, cloudscapes.

What a great find you stumbled upon!!!! and thanks for thinking of me!!! You're soooo sweet!!!! This is a cool find though, and I'm intrigued by the gray sand?? Our sand here is more tan or beige/white. It really does look like this poor crab has made his last stand!!! I've heard about a sand sculpting compitition coming up soon on the Oregon coast, that would be fun to see!!!!! Thanks again Kort, I'm flattered!!!!!
