This is an old friend of Cornelius and mine. He is now retired and is training men in Somalia how to board ships on the open sea. Seriously, do take a moment to look at this figure made of sand and water. This and other figures made by artists are on show at a shopping mall close to where I live.

P.S. Note the wooden leg!

Thatīs a very good statue made of sand and water. I am amazed it is still standing. Very good detailed photo.

Seen and captured very well Raj!!! It made me smile from ear to ear. Although it's rather difficult for me, I must agree with Bob, that I see many similarities between him and me. The difference is that I'm made of flesh and blood, with the exception that I have a wooden leg made of oak. Other differences are that my eye patch is black; on the place where I had my right hand, there's a stainless steel hook now; and my parrot is berating everyone all day long. Just kidding/LOL!!! Ship Ahoy, indeed!

Saved + Faved, of course.

Regards, Cornelius.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The details on this beautiful sculpture are amazing , Raj.
I saw the wooden leg immediately , it makes this so life like.
I will bet this is a great show at your local mall.
Excellent post !

Must have been posted when I was away Raj. Someone has a lot of talent.
I think they made some movies about him when he was in the Carribean.
