This is a short story about an young African man I met on my local beach and playground. The beach is Fish Hoek Beach in Cape Town- South Africa adjoined by a small town known as Fish Hoek,various stories as to how it got it's original name. Anyway,the young man Michael, arrived one morning and started constructing this huge sand heap with a shovel. Curious,as I am ,I sat down to see what was going to develop from this huge amount of sand. As things soon began to unfold ,I quickly discovered he was beginning to sculpture some sort of object, at this stage I had no idea what was developing before my vary eyes. He started working intensely now with only a spade,a paint brush and a small plastic teaspoon cut into a point. At this stage,more people started arriving with the same perplexed look on their faces. We where about to see something truly amazing unfold before our eyes and the excitement became electrifying. Right here ,right now ,I will share his accomplishments and I have to mention that the photographs you are about to witness are sculptured on the spot in double quick time with precision and intense concentration..and straight out of the mind ,no pictures or objects to work from.What he does is create this huge sand heap ,then decides on the spur of the moment as to what he will sculpture. I hope you enjoy these pics and respect his self made talent.IMG_20171119_111435.jpg many followers do.
