Ripples in the Sand by onewing

Ripples in the Sand

Another photo from my walk on the beach yesterday.

I love patterns in the sand and thought this shot would look quite nice in black and white.

I thought I would tag this for the abstract theme too because it does look kind of abstract.

It looks quite nice on black too.
It is a beautiful capture whichever way you look at it.

I love the patterns the ocean makes in the sand, Nature is very creative

Beautiful patterns. I can just about feel those ridges under my feet. I've not been on a beach in a while.
August 21st, 2020  
Very nice. Made me think you’d been to the moon!

Love the patterns and if you look closely you can see that there is life beneath the sand.

It could be on another planet! Suits b&w so well Babs.
August 21st, 2020  
So perfect in B&W. I like that there are no footprints to disturb the patterns!

@jamibann Luckily this beach is just down the road from my house.

@dide @flowerfairyann It does look rather other worldly doesn't it.

@wakelys @pusspup Yes, definitely lots going on under the sand.

@louannwarren Not many people know how to get to this part of the beach which is why there are only my footprints there. I walk here quite often and never see a soul.

This is awesome - the first thing I thought of was another planet!!!
August 21st, 2020

Wonderful patterns
August 21st, 2020  
great textures
August 21st, 2020  
Nice capture, Babs! I too like documenting the interesting patterns water leaves behind.
August 21st, 2020  
Wonderful image!
August 21st, 2020  
Is this from the Camel beach?..Camel footprints?
August 21st, 2020  
Wonderful capture!
August 21st, 2020  
This works so well -- great lines/textures and use of repetition.
August 21st, 2020  
Lovely capture
August 21st, 2020  
Lovely patterns and textures
August 21st, 2020  
I like the little bird footprints.
August 21st, 2020  
The patterns really pops on black!
August 21st, 2020  
Great patterns!
August 21st, 2020  
I would have to say the indentations may be camal tracks Babs:)
August 21st, 2020  
@linnypinny It does look rather alien doesn't it

@pdulis @kwind @mittens @sdutoit @fishers @pamknowler @seattlite @mgmurray @theredcamera @photographycrazy @jacqbb @taffy @craftymeg @carolmw @tunia @loweygrace @carole_sandford Thanks, even on a deserted beach there is so much going on in this picture both on the sand and under it. The tiny holes are left by various crabs other creatures as they burrow beneath the sand before the tide turns. At the bottom right if you look carefully you can see two bare footprints (not mine). The large indentations are made by ……… well all will be revealed later today when I tell you what they are.

@julzmaioro No Julia this isn't the camel beach and not camel footprints either, nice try.

@pcoulson Again you are on the same wavelength as Julia, nice try, but the large indentations are bigger than camel tracks. All will be revealed later today.
August 21st, 2020  
I love the texture and patterns you've captured in the sand- it's perfect for black and white. fav
August 22nd, 2020  
very cool

Pam
Glorious patterns!
August 22nd, 2020  
Great shapes, lines, light
August 22nd, 2020  
I would imagine that there would be crabs here - on our beaches it might just be shellfish - like pipis or toheroas. I can see the light footprint (with toes) there on the right - could it just be a barefoot fairy?
August 22nd, 2020  
@olivetreeann @sugarmuser @brokenbird @jgpittenger Thanks, I love patterns in the sand.

@maggiemae Yes plenty of crabs on this beach, especially soldier crabs and sand bubbler crabs. Lots of pipis too. There could have been a barefoot fairy but I didn't see her, just her footprints.

The large indentations aren't made by crabs though I will explain later today what made those holes. Much bigger than crabs.
August 22nd, 2020  
Very nice!
August 22nd, 2020  
I've seen your explanation Babs, must be one heck of a lot of 'em round there. I was always terrified of them when I was a kid messing round in the sea. Love the shot, great in b&w.
August 22nd, 2020  
@golftragic Actually it doesn't take many stingrays to make so many holes, they move about a bit I believe. Luckily they don't get disturbed at this beach because it isn't easy to access and is outside the tourist area so not many people venture down here. It is where my favourite tree is and I will post a photo of that tomorrow.

Not far from our house too, luckily we don't live in the tourist area.

There were a few people injured by stingrays at Fingal Bay last year I believe but that is a tourist spot.

Cool shot. Lovely patterns.
