Sand sculpture festival, Oss

Our Dutch friends always find interesting places to take us and interesting things to show us when we visit them in Noord Brabant. However, this year they weren’t sure whether we would like to see the exhibition of sand sculptures at the nearby city of Oss. We said we’d very much like to see them as we had enjoyed visiting our own town’s similar exhibition on Weston beach.

We were astounded at what we saw – we had been impressed by the sculptures in Weston, but the ones in Oss were, in our opinion, superior – not just in skill and technique, but also in the imagination of the sculptors.
