Sand Art
updated: Dec 09, 2010, 5:45 PM

By David Powdrell

I do a bit of walking on wet sand hiking along the Central Coast of California. Through the years I've accumulated an array of random sand/water photos and filed them under the title "Nature's Art", never really sure what I'd do with them. I just recently discovered that the art is sometimes referred to as "sand trees" and "sand art". I thought it'd be fun to share the concept, in the event you weren't aware of it.

When significant tidal changes happen, water slowly seeps back to the ocean making an interesting floral-like etching in the sand. I'm sure there's a better explanation to the whole process; I just find the imagery and symmetry of the water and sand interesting and artistic.
