This Badger was made from willow and gave lots of pleasure to visitors to a local wildlife centre.
That was until vandals set fire to it!

A dimly lit museum is not exactly a place for 100 speed film. Handheld at 1/8s.

This monument was installed as a memorial to those lost in the first world war.
It was designed by an Italian, Mario Rutelli and constructed in 1923.
It depicts the winged "Victory" at the top symbolically holding a laurel halo over the figure at the base, representing 'Humanity'.
At the time it was considered a bit raunchy, as the buxom nude at the base was a bit of a shock.
Sadly, I seem to have missed an opportunity to capture the raunchy bit, though I have obtained a glimpse in my Xpan photo.

Sand sculptures?
Amazing!

Yes, though there is some sort of additive in the sand so it holds together longer.
The sculptors go with a different theme every year
