The beach has arrived on Whyte Avenue in the form of sand sculptures.
There are seven creations on display all portraying different ‘feelings,’ the theme of this year’s Sand on Whyte Festival.
The sand carvings were created by two Canadian sand carving artists and explore several different emotions including love, joy, pride, hope, fear, stress and vanity.
Professional sand carving artists Peter Vogelaar from Winlaw, B.C. and Guy-Olivier Deveau from Quebec City use sand from the Burnco Plant near Wabamun to create the carvings.
