One of the pleasures of walking pristine beaches is checking out the marks and traces left by the receding tide - nature doing its quiet etching; and filling the grooves with its own debris paintwork.
The photos below were taken on the last afternoon before we left Pirlangimpi - Marks in the sand (MITS) on Front Beach.

I'm quite taken with FX Colour's Invert Image and Colour Fantasy applications. I find both these are good way of highlighting aspects of the photo that are not immediately visible in the naked camera photo shots. The spots in MITS3 are rain drops - at that point we scurried back to our Pirlangimpi 'home'.

Fiona and I spent quite a bit of the day today entering 'work-work' survey data into a database, doing quality checks and cleaning. Also managed to weed the coffee 'plantation'. So that is my little bit of creativity for Saturday.
Beautiful, I thought the first photo was a snake track at first. Wonderful patterns....!
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful - i, too, enjoy finding patterns left by nature, by the water and the wind... living near to the ocean, i see so many people who don't even seem to notice they are on the beach or magic of nature that presents itself...
ReplyDeleteI really love these found marks Barry!
ReplyDeleteIn art I think we emulate nature. But nature has been at it longer than us...
That camera is amazing! Love the sand. The original photos seem to have a calming effect.... serene, natural.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I wish I lived close to a beach...
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend.
Great shots, Barry! Really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice Easter!
Hugs,

V, MD, LAM, JM, S & GB - we can only admire nature and its marks - but also good to be there to capture them; and amazing what we can now do with our technology to just highlight aspects of what we see. B
ReplyDeleteI love these patterns... The wind also makes interesting patterns in the sand. I live in Cornwall and the heavy metals in the rock can be seen in the sand. The wind sorts them sometimes and leaves fine black stripes and mottled areas. I also love the little curly sand worms left by burrowing creatures. Thank you for sharing these.
