A Song of Fire and Sand

Yes, that’s right, I just used a Game of Thrones title for a Lord of the Rings post, and this will serve as a test to see if any of you actually read the content of posts or just look at the pretty pictures. How many flies can I catch?

In any case, this ridiculously awesome sand sculpture was created by the very patient Joseph Alvernaz. He does not say how long it took him to make it, but I’m guessing it was at least a full day’s worth of work. How do you do the details at the top without crashing into the center when something is shaped like this? I wish he capture a video of exactly how he did this, because I’d love to see it.

So, replica of King’s Landing next so my title won’t be so off-base?

I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

    My guess is you actually start shaping at the top of the pile of sand, and then work your way down and out. Whatever the case, nice pic.
