The International Sand Sculpture Festival in Antalya is one of the world’s most prestigious sand sculpture activities. Every year, hundreds of huge, sparkling sand sculptures prepared around various themes, such as “World Wonders and Mythology” and “Sea Legends,” are displayed at Lara Beach, drawing many local and international tourists.

Deux sculptures en sable que j’ai fait durant des vacances avec ma famille.

réalisé sans modèles. Le sable est une matière difficile a sculpter mais j’aime beaucoup le résultat final 

pour l’anecdote mes deux sculptures on tenu trois jours sur la plage et je pense qu’elles aurait tenu plus longtemps si une présence humaine n’était pas intervenu pour les écraser

The Canadian Cancer Society and Health Canada are reviewing the World Health Organization's classification of aspartame as "possibly carcinogenic" due to limited evidence linking it to liver cancer.
