Hokitika Driftwood Sculpture Festival

 

Every year in Hokitika a driftwood sculpture festival is held for 4 days. This year we didn't manage to get there to check it out until afterwards but there was still a great deal to see. Hokitika beach is one of those places that is covered constantly with driftwood. So have a look at these words of art and see what you think. btw the camera was my favourite.

A friend of mine took part this year, she did the 'sitting duck', the 5th photo down.I've never attended myself but think it would be a fun day out. Thanks for sharing.

These are fascinating. I like the camera and bird but they are all pretty clever.

What fun! It's been so long since I've lived near a beach that I've become envious of anyone whose life choices (or even accidents) have taken them to places like this. We once had an academic job opportunity in NZ, but couldn't leave our animals behind, so had to stay in Texas. The nearest beach is a seven-hour drive. But what I love about these photos is the sheer creativity on display. Driftwood is an inspiring medium, but this display is wondrous.
