Spain Loves Obama!

[Joanne98]

I just heard about this from Yahoo:

Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez Gerada and an army of helpers sculpted it from sand on a Barcelona beach in northeastern Spain.



The team battled days of rain to finish just ahead of Tuesday’s election. It is 140 yards long by 80 yards wide — big enough, Rodriguez Gerada hopes — to be photographed on Google Earth. The face was created using 500 tons of sand, gravel and white, brown and black pebbles at a cost of more than $13,000.

“The piece is not really based on giving support to Barack Obama,” he said. “It is more about questioning Obama-mania.”

Still, Rodriguez Gerada said he chose the large format as an allusion to the global importance of the American vote, and to represent the hope Obama has inspired in his supporters.
