WC #715 - Sand Sculpture

This is an aerial view of ... errr ... actually ... cool

This is a small area of sand which had been exquisitely sculpted by runoff through a wash in the eastern region of Zion as a result of strong storms a couple of weeks earlier in mid-October. I'd estimate that the actual width of this scene is only about 18-24 inches.

Excellent, Jim. I love theway that curve leads the eye through the image and all the fine detail it picks up along the way.

Jim, thank you. I've been waiting all week for a sand pattern post. I used to love taking these, but the Montana house in the mountains has kept me away from beaches for nearly a decade. This is a fine pattern with a good sense of movement, nice warm colors and lots of details. The larger version really shows off the details wonderfully.

A fine abstract. The wind and water did all the amazing work and you added your touch to share it with us. Well seen.
