Beautiful way to while away the time
When I was a child in the 1980s, my parents bought one of these sand pictures when we were on vacation in Colorado.  We spent many hours looking at that picture.  Last summer when my husband and I took our children to Colorado, we found one in a gift shop and I brought it home.  We give it a couple of turns a day and watch to see how each sandscape is different.<br /><br />I purchased this picture for a 95-year-old woman who is like a grandmother to me.  While she no longer gets around well, she still has good eyesight and I hope that she will enjoy it.<br /><br />The only downside of these pictures is that over time, they will get too much air inside and you'll have to follow the instructions and use the included needle to get it back to the right combination of air and water.  With the one I purchased last year, I've had to "reset" it once.  When this one arrived, it had too much air, so I opened the box and fixed it before wrapping it up for my neighbor.<br /><br />The premise is simple, but it is something that can be enjoyed by all ages.
