Theo Jansen's Strandbeest: Words Fail.

I read a story about this Dutch artist years ago as he struggled to create these skeleton life forms and now it looks like he's gone and done it.  They are bizarre, yet graceful and the artist wants to set them free to live lives of their own.  Amazing video.  Enjoy
To be standing on a beach on the North Sea and  glimpse one of these meandering across the sand would be a thrilling sight to be sure.

And so it goes.

  2. Normally those yellow plastic tubes are used for pulling electrical cables through them. And yes we have wide beaches!
