I've put the Fiesa 2010 video on youtube but I speeded it up to get it to fit in the 10 minutes and it's made my shaky hand look even worse. I'll redo it when I have time.

We went to the World of Sand 'Fiesa 2010' last month and once again it was well worth the visit, even though a couple of the displays had been held over from last year's exhibits (e.g. the Indian temple with Ganesh the Elephant God, the Egyptian Display, and the Cityscape, among others). However, there was enough new stuff to make it worth seeing.

My favourite was the Hollywood themed one in 2008 - some fantastic sculpting in that one.

Are you positive they were the same as last year?
I agree - the Hollywood one was by far the best. I am going again in a week or so.

[TomUK]

Yes. Definitely some repetition, although parts were changed slightly.

This close up is from 2009

I thought there were a few that looked familiar.

Correct laserblazer - this one is from this year, complete with the same pyramid! (and there were other examples).

This backdrop was the same, but the figures below it had been changed.
