From a beach caterpillar to a beach butterfly...

JUST FOR FUN.

BEACH ART MADE BY PS IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES... :-)

Summer beach art

...just two weeks ago on Germany's most beautiful sand heap.

 This and much more is the result of the summer activities of an older couple that spends several weeks on their favorite beach section on their beloved vacation island on the North Frisian North Sea coast.

Lost in the North Sea floods...

...but this time fortunately no human life, just tens of thousands of Hilfiger Denim lady's and child's shoes.

 On December 9, 2011, the huge container vessel "Maersk Eindhoven" lost five of its containers during a hurricane in the vicinity of the island of Helgoland, German North Sea.

--> article of the incident (in German)

So a huge amount of shoes could "escape" from the iron container prison.

Most of them were washed up at the Helgoland shoreline, but still many of them took their way to the north-west in direction to the North Frisian Islands (Sylt, Amrum, Föhr).

The collection of shoes I've posted here I found at different sections of Sylt's beaches between end of year 2011 and January 2012 - three to four weeks after the incident.

Unfortunately the ballerinas I found were of different shoe size - 39 & 41.

But after three to four weeks in the North Sea floods no one would really enjoy wearing the kicks...
