Photos from the SandFestival Ruhr have been turning up in various newspapers‘ “pictures of the day” galleries. From what I can gather this festival in western Germany features 11 large sand sculptures, one of which depicts “President George W. Bush as an octopus who holds corn, oil, a cross, the World Trade Center, and a gun in his tentacles.” Though I don’t know any German, I do know how to use flickr tags so here’s a “sandfestivalruhr” gallery which currently contains photos from Markus Schroeder.
