Some truly incredible stuff from artists all over the world, who have gathered in the tiny seaside town of Somerset, England for the Sand Sculpture Festival 2008. The theme for this year is ‘Around the World’, and featured works include an Empire State Building complete with King Kong, and a twelve foot model of British landmark, Big Ben.

How much fun would it be to trample all these sandcastles at the end of the competition? The only thing better than building sandcastles, is pretending they are Japanese people and stomping on them afterwards like you’re Godzilla. Sorry Japan, but you had it coming for stealing baseball. Not cool Japan. Not cool.
