These are two of a number of remaining tiles which make up part of an arch at our local park. When the community succesfully fought against a council plan to turn the park into an oval, and to develop a local park instead, this was marked with a number of different art projects, one was the arch, with many individual tiles developed by a local artist. The tiles depict wildlife present in South Australia. Many of these have been broken and lost and the arch is in a very sad state and sure to be demolished before too long. I photographed many of the tiles that were left. I love the colours and the textures.
This is just one of the many unique sand sculptures that my kids have made on the beautiful Adelaide beaches.

Those are all great pictures for the theme! Great job! And, the face just made me laugh.
Great photos. A really nice take on the theme
Beautiful tiles and sand sculpture, original works!!
happy weekend :)
Cool shots. I love the sand structure.. so original :)
It's a shame they all weren't looked after better! happy weekend :-)
I am in full support of art in public places. We have a program here in Washington state which sets aside funds for this. There are some neat pieces, not only in cities, but in smaller towns like my own. Nice entry!
great photos and tiles!
I love Adelaide! I was once there in 1998. Love the people, the birds, gorgeous place!
wonderful photos!! I loved your take on the theme.
the tiles are beautiful, but that beach face.... AWESOME! :)
these are awesome

Welcome to Photohunt - you are new, aren't you?!
Lovely tiles. And the sand sculpture is just in my line. I made a similar - but not so good - one on holiday last week.
The art tiles are so interesting and it's a shame that they are likely to be lost. I have a weakness for art tiles of all different kinds. However, as much as I liked the art tiles, I especially love your children's sand sculpture. Very nice post.
Oh I love the beach face!! The tiles are beautiful, but the beach face is original beyond words! My photo is up, please come and visit
WOW! Those are some amazing photos! Nice entry this week;)
Too bad that these will probably not remain. They are very colourful and quite meaningful. Sand plus children = original creation.
Ohh i love the tiles and the original sand sculpture of yours..Have a happy weekend..
Lovely! :) Those are all wonderful originals. The tiles are beautiful!
My original photo.
The tiles look cool. So sad if these are going to be removed soon. The sand face is quite original, funny too.
Have a great weekend, Colin :)
Your kids are quite creative, Colin.
great shots, happy PH
Lovely original pieces for sure. I love the sand art. Of course i love beaches, so don't even mention yours to me. We're entering the crappy winter here now. I don't like winter, I love summer - and beaches :-)
Its a shame that in time it has deteriorated. Those tiles are pretty. I especially like the sand sculpture,.. that was pretty interesting. Great photos and have a good weekend.
Wow, kind of sad reading the first part of your entry.
Those are very beautiful tiles.
