    Beach Sculpture Festival

    A few beach sculptures from this years festival

    Beach Sculpture Festival-20240906_174831-jpg

    I had a meander round without FF2 today so I could focus on drinking in the culture vulture vibe

    This was a lovely young lady from Brazil named Val.

    We struck up a convivial conversation as amateur art critics. She was warm and friendly in a way that I generally find Brazilian women (of which there are many on the Gold Coast for some weird reason) are not. They are used to being chased by hot blooded Latino men, who push hard, so my low key approach does not usually get me very far.

    The sun was catching the sculpted curves on show in quite a striking manner

    But the most prized pieces were saved for last and did not disappoint

    I sneaked into the live band tent in time to catch the end of the headline set

    Some of them take on a much spookier aspect with the night lights illuminating them

    One of the artists was in residence at the beach sculptures today

    Beach Sculpture Festival-20240914_183640-jpg

    The light hits the sculpture at different angles at different times of day

    Beach Sculpture Festival-20240914_184822-jpg

    I try and get different perspectives on each sculpture to squeeze out all the artisticity

    Beach Sculpture Festival-20240914_184654-jpg

    This one is entitled Skittles and is by the resident piss artist.

    I find that people look at me funny if I am sitting swigging from a full size bottle of red so these minis make it look a bit more civilised but they can still draw attention.

    After the 3rd mini-bottle I was starting to get a mini-horn from this lady flaunting some ankle and wrist

    ^Broadbeach to the left of the Burqas. Surfers to the right.

    Looks like a monster new complex going up at the south end of Broadbeach. I will have to give that a closer inspection to see what is the go.
