PS7 - Sand Art II - a follow-up to the infamous "Sand Art."

Let's all head for the beach. A little taste of summer at any time of the year... You might be wondering why the pictures look so good; they're regular 35mm scans.


Just a scenery pic to start us off... The next bunch of photos were taken at Little Harbour Beach, PEI.


This here is... I dunno. It kind of reminds me of Georgetown, PEI, in the way that the highway becomes the street becomes the water, but this place seems bigger. =) The town factory is on the left. Going downtown, we see a mall, a school, two other large buildings... whatever suits your imagination.


A frontal view of the same.


Back here we can see the highway entrance and the tunnel under the town. The tunnel comes out on the other side of the stream there, but I couldn't take any pictures of the digging process or the other side because... uh, I ran out of Aunt Shirley's film. Yeah.


You'd think I was trying to get into the X-Files now. I had a desperate urge early on in the season to go do something with the sand and take some pictures, so I raced down to Souris Beach late one evening. I don't think there was enough light left in the sky. This was supposed to become a large fortified town.


Here lies the watch to- er, cone. You can see I was getting desperate because I went and carved symbols instead of constructing buildings. You can see the Port of Souris in the background.


This is what the Basin Head Run area looks like when it's not busy. This picture and the next two were taken when I went up there one morning to meet up with the Steeles.


I took this picture because I wanted to get an image of the warning signs as well as my cousins, but it would have been more effective if people had been jumping into the water off the bridge at the same time; which you'll see most of the time, but I guess it didn't occur to me to wait. Now, if you'd like to see what the signs and whatnot look like up close, click here to view a close-up.


I actually dug a pretty big trench here, but by then the sun was straight up in the sky, and it was hard to take a good picture.

See you next year with more Sand Art (of course, that will depend on whether or not I get over to Prince Edward Island - when I'm here we never go to the beach).
