Don't ask me why but this reminds me of a piano bar at Shakeys Pizza Parlor in Inglewood, Cal... Interesting shot. Aloha

What a find! A super shot! I would have included more sand and the shadows to create more shapes!

OMG, just get a load of those magnificent sinuous sand patterns, textures and lighting effects in another one of your memorable beach fotos, Marilyn. Outstanding shadow work.

Ok, I'll end here for now---I still have others to go! But I had to do this before I stopped. I told you, earlier, it was like a japanese rock garden, and of all the shots I've said that about, this one is a prime example. Because one of the 'rocks' is probably a piece of concrete from a sidewalk or something like that. And it seems to be balanced on a portion that's smaller underneath than it is on top---an imbalance that's beautiful. And you have that small rock on top of it, and a small rock to the side, as if they're buddies, siblings. And then the ripples with some footmarks or rock-marks or whatever. See, in Japanese rock gardens, how one rakes the sand is very important: The idea is to create flow between the rocks, and to indicate that all things are transient, fleeting---ie, that ripple pattern will go away with one breeze, some rain, anything, even a small creature running across it. So beauty is fleeting---and then boom! It's created all over again with something totally new. That's the kind of pattern you have here. So these kinds of shots feel very spontaneous, because the design is so fresh. It could change an hour after you leave, after all. But the shot also feels permanent. Beautiful, Marilyn, and a great place to end for now. Love what you're posting these days...
