Thanks! and yes this is sand. A lot of people spend time nearby and this is as far as they can go in a vehicle, so there are a lot of parking maneuvers "recorded" over time. Once in a while a higher than usual tide washes over the area and the process starts again.

I inverted the image before doing any other processing. That helped emphasize the tire patterns.

I agree! Love this look, also want to know how to achieve it.

Wonderful lines. Love how it starts solid and then opens up. The symmetry really works well here. Got my top score I gave for this challenge.

So well seen, a great catch, and each of them with their matching outfits but such different styles. A 9 from me. Taken by Mariuca?
