Photo Of The Week: Sand Castle

| Sand castle by the beach in Valencia |
I was taking a walk on the beautiful promenade Valencia has by the sea the other day and I spotted this sand castle. Usually people build sand sculptures on the beach in summer, when there are more spectators around to admire the ephemeral masterpieces. However, it was a nice surprise to find this winter castle next by the Mediterranean Sea on what was still a pretty warm end of November day. I loved the tree with the huge surface roots by the steps of the castle, but I simply couldn't make sense of the Sponge Bob plastic character and some other blue little fellow that were guarding(?) the castle.
