That is unbelievable. And incredibly surreal. That is so going to end up in a story somehow someday. Seriously. Wow.

Yes, one looks at this and it. Just. Has. No. Right. To. Work!!! Yet it does. The one moving its 'head' seems really alive, so natural. You're right about a story, all of them make so eerie impression.

Bloody hell! These things are positively freaky! Strangely compelling, but definitely freaky :}

But appealing to a fan of sails, doesn't it? ;D

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Though they are still distinctly weird! *g*

[aletheiafelinea.livejournal.com]

Yep. A decent self-respecting thing with sails isn't supposed to sniff around. Or at least adult things with sails say so, frowning. *g*

They do look rather frisky and wayward don't they?!

[aletheiafelinea.livejournal.com]

No wonder they're called beach beasts. ;D

That's amazing! You would swear they were alive. Brilliant!

Yes, it's astonishing how natural their moves look, isn't it?
