Thank you @zeraton. Hitchcock is one of my favourite directors as he came up with a lot of the language we now take for granted. Like all great artists, he was inspired by everything around him, including the people. Saul is also a great artist in his own right and from this scene along I think he would have made a great director.
As far as my sand castles go I really hate making them. Sand is a plastic and it much more lends itself to organic forms. Straight lines and windows drive me mad. I also like the creative process to continue all through the making of the piece with architecture I feel I am just working to a plan.
Thanks for your comment
