Veterans, amateurs and spectators all had a place on Nov. 10-13 on Siesta Key Beach for the annual Crystal Classic sand sculpting competition.
As returning and first-time sculptors carefully shaped their sand in the masters competition, amateurs tended to the details of their masterpieces. Meanwhile, crowds meandered through Siesta Key's temporary art gallery.
