Matt's Abstract Sandcastles Look Like They Belong in a Science Fiction Movie

A mysterious artist named Sandcastle Matt makes gravity-defying sand sculptures on the beaches of Massachusetts. Since 2004, he's made about 30 of them using what he finds on the beach. He uses sticks and sometimes string or twine. Matt makes frames out of them, then drips wet sand in layers over those structures. The results are beautiful and haunting. You can view more of his work here.

Hee! That picture was taken in a cruise ship stateroom, probably a Carnival ship (though other lines do it too). They do that with the bath towels. On our honeymoon, we would come back from dinner and find an elephant, a dog, or the monkey seen above. They sold books in the gift shop explaining how to make the animals.

Noelegy is right, I've been on several Carnival ships, and that looks like one. In addition to leaving these in the staterooms, they would also fold them that way at the cabana near the pool. Some of the crew was downright creative in their repertoire.

In Costa Rica, the maids made two swans on each bed, so I took my roommate's swans and made them do lewd things to each other.

I am mature.

Also, I wish I had taken a picture.
