A forest in the sand…

When I first saw these seaweed impressions left in the sand they struck me as looking like bare trees in a forest, or an art nouveau frieze.  I decided to convert it to mono to bring out the contrast a little more, as even though the impressions were quite deep, the light was comparatively flat.

A post note!  My husband has looked at this and said he thought water had made the pattern as it drained back out to sea – so I may have assumed the wrong artist, not seaweed!!

Wet and dry….

Another image from our trip away.  I am endlessly fascinated by patterns made by wind or sea in the sand.  The tide was coming in for this shot and this is just one pattern made by a single wave on the sand..  🙂
