Wow - and this big and accurate artwork has to create very fast and just in the right time for photograph daylight, upcoming tides and accomplish this during max. 6 hrs.! This is incredible! On this not perfect plane surface!
The artist seems to be additional an mathematical genius and thereabout he's probably using genies for faster work!

He is also an artist who is far from precious about his work, since few mediums can be as transitory as the one he chooses to work in. While humankind has surely been creating artworks out of sand since long before we have been able to preserve any trace of their fleeting existence, few sand artists can have worked on such a scale as Peter Donnelly. And few revelled so much in the march of the incoming tide.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/sand-art-beaches/11238"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.environmentalgraffiti.com/img/08EE371E-D08F-4295-BCA2-1BF2EFB5C681" alt="Pete Donnelly sand dancer from New Brighton Pier" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/sand-art-beaches/11238"><P>Based in Christchurch, <A href="#" class="kLink" target="undefined" id="KonaLink0"><FONT color="blue"><SPAN class="kLink">New </SPAN><SPAN class="kLink">Zealand</SPAN></FONT></A>, Peter Donnelly has been practicing his unique take on sand art for over ten years, a period during which he has created almost one thousand pieces of art – only to see each creative outpouring washed away by the encroaching sea.
