Walking the Beach

This was taken from the parking lot overlooking Face Rock in Bandon, Oregon.  From what I was told one of the locals makes these intricate paths on the beach and people are then suppose to have some sort of Zen or mystical experience walking them.

Canon 7d
24-105 at 24 mm
ISO 100
1/800 at f4.5

Best viewed in large version.

Thanks for looking.  Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Pretty cool scene. The patterns are quite intriguing and the people give nice scale. The out of focus patch of vegetation intruding into the scene is quite distracting however.

The color and clarity are great, Allen.  The created pattern adds a touch of drama that is echoed very well by the water, rocks and sky in the distance.  I could see cloning out the top half of the tallest dark stem near the left edge.

Wonderful beach scene Allen with the interesting designs in the sand.  I agree about the clump of out-of-focus grass.
