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.


Thanks for your explanation, Penny. The invertion makes it look like snow on a dark surface.
Awesome pic!
