Sandsculpture Competition Duncannon, Co. Wexford




































Photos by Margit Anna Binder

It was a very bright sunny day and very hot! 25 degrees C! We went to Hook Head in County Wexford and walked up the lighthouse, from where we had a wonderful view, but I still did not see a whale. They are never around when I am coming, I am getting used to that!Maybe they don't like Austrians!
On the way back we saw signs saying there was a sandsculpture competition on in Duncannon. The beach was full with people who enjoyed the sun and we hardly found a parking space, as every street was packed with cars.
Though we expected to see a professional competition, it was nice to see people having fun and showing creativity.
