The annual festival has been running in Søndervig for a few years now, I believe, and the theme this year is “The Roman Empire and its Rulers”.

The artists are from all over the world and I was very impressed by the sculptures! The details are amazing, as should be evident from the photos below by Asta Poulsen.

The festival runs till 25 October, and you can get all the details including entrance fees and opening times from http://www.sandskulptur.dk/frontpage.aspx

I went out with my camera on Wednesday to take some autumn photos. Surprisingly I came back a lot more cheerful than I’d expected. Who would have thought that West Sussex can be this colourful in mid-September and that weed can be this pretty. Some of the photos would have turned out a lot better if they’d been shot with a macro lense, which I don’t own. But hopefully you’ll still enjoy some of them.
