These pictures were taken in the courtyard of Dublin Castle. I used to have a summer job as a tour guide there so I have a great affinity for the place.
This exhibition is of sculptures created entirely out of sand, taking inspiration from some of Ireland's most famous cultural icons.
The photo above is Jonathan Swift imagined as his most famous creation, Gulliver. I really like it.
I think it's cool that the sculptor chose to make two heads for Samuel Beckett. Perhaps it's to signify that he was equally fluent in both French and English and is celebrated by both traditions.
A prize to anyone who can name all the famous faces featured here.
