Description
"The temple of art is built of words. Painting and sculpture and music are but the blazon of its windows, borrowing all their significance from the light, and suggestive only of the temple's uses." ~ Josiah Gilbert Holland
"All right, then, get back to your temple before you give us all galloping religious mania!" ~ Doctor Who
Here is a belated homage to this month's Gommie, Akemi (nongo). She has the "Zen Eye" for finding art in nature and seemingly whatever she turns the viewfinder of her camera upon. Her recent "Beach Art" photograph reminded me of this one I had taken not too long ago on Cumberland Island. I stumbled out of the dunes and onto a deserted stretch of beach to find this sand sculpted devotional. Whether is was made by man or crab may never be known... Congrats again Akemi on the Gallery of the Month award. You deserve it! ----- Thank you for your little puffy comments on my last upload, cloudscapes.

Love the post.. thank you for the share, support/comment on my post today and wish you a wonderful day my friend JOE
Oh wow, that is so awesome. That crab looks right at home, too.
See! A crab is king of his castle!! Excellent image!!!
Very funny !
Aww is that crap DEAD! What a prize for the top of your castle, why didnt you just put him on a stick! lol Great shot, I love your handi work :-P
I was pretty sure there will be nice meal. Funy pic.
Great find, excellent lighting.
Great Bryce piece! Looks almost like a photograph. Look at that terrain Central American pyramid!
Now that is one intelligent...and determined crab for creating that sandcastle...or motel perhaps for smaller crabs. Oh..i see you said it could have been made by a crab...sigh...my "joke" was waaaaasted!!! Waaaaah waaaaah!!!! Awesome looking crab though. Cool metallic paintjob on it. A pimp-crab if i ever saw one. Beautiful find and capture. Enjoy your thursday bro! #:O)
Looks like from a science fiction book or film... Fascinating and quite impressive!!
Very nice find indeed. KP
Nice of the little fellow to allow your innerChild to Play !! HHaa !!Peace is a state of mind as you often remind us !!!
Great capture erland
Nothing to crab about here! Good capture and interesting concept. I wonder what the ceremony is all about. Never realized those decapod creatures were into the religion thing. Do they make sacrifices to their god(s)?
Fun stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful dedi for Akemi!!!!
Look -- it's a born-again Crustacean! It actually appears there are remnants of some of the sacrifices scattered about the base of that altar.... Interesting find (and a bit bizarre, too). Fascinating.
Lovely dedication! The poor crab had to die for his art!!
Ha ....well if that don't beat all, I'll be darned!!!
What happens in Crab-Vegas.....:o)b
