While at the Playa beach, I was able to photograph the second annual Castelli di sabbia event. This is an open contest to make sand castles ans other sand sculptures. Some were rather nice. Actually the castle like sculptures were in the minority. Some were very complex and showed great skills and creativity. They ranged from an old Fiat 500 to the Costa Concordia that great example of Italy's uncanny ability to appear ridiculous in the eyes of the world. It was a fun event and a change from the usual beach activities.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
