May have to wait quite some time before it can be built again! Curious designs in the sand there. They look good, Steve.

I do not think it is sad. It says that next summer there will be another !!!! But I think the image IS very nostalgic and charming at the same time. Bittersweet - a fellow here used this word to describe his feelings about autumn and this word is also applicable here ...
[hope you did not take offence for the rowan case I filed against you LOL]

When I saw the title on my friends list I thought that's strange it's not typical of Mr Braces. Well I was still surprised but not disappointed.

A great fun upload, & I love the category you've posted in it. :o) we need the photography->general gallery upload link back !

Hope there wasn't any treasure lost. Maybe some archaeologist would find it millons of years from now and have a dig site. The ship they found recently in Africa is something.

Good post evetS.

Lol! I had to look twice in case I was really missing something, like a large castle that went missing... Around here things like the remains of old ships are always being cast up on the beach... and sand castles just like this one.

This is quite good as an abstract. I had to look a few times too. Could be four buried cornets of toffee ice cream...
