Exquisite White House Sand Sculpture

Dan Doubleday and Meredith Corson of Sanding Ovations recently created an awesome sand sculpture of the White House (and the Lincoln Memorial) for the Republican National Convention. Found on the beach behind the Bilmar Beach Resort in Treasure Island, Florida , the impressive sculptures were made from 40 tons of sand. It took six days to complete the works which are now on view until September 3.

The White House includes a clever touch. "We left the front door open because we don't know yet who will occupying the house come January," said Corson.
