This was taken on Mother's Day or rather Mother Nature's Day as it was to me. I spent the day exploring and shooting with plans to shoot a particular spot again for sunset. When I arrived a few hours before sunset there was a family setting up for fishing/dinner/fire etc. so I scrapped that idea. Instead I decided to drive the extra hour to Victoria Beach and try another sunset there. What a great choice. I've always said that every time I go to this place it is always different from the any other time. Even if I go consecutive days in a row. That is how fast things change here. In fact, these sand ripples were under water by the time I left. It changed dramatically, from a photography POV, in just a couple of hours. Next weekend the gates close to the public and I may not be back til fall when they open again. Once closed I have to park far away from the beach. Plus summer months there are many people there and well I'd rather be alone. Like I was on this visit. WHOLE beach to myself and the soothing sounds of NOTHING!

Freakin wicked patterns. That fg is sick. Comp is a bit lopsided but not really avoidable b/c of the shape of the sand and position of the sun but might not make that big of a difference to most. Good decision on that drive
I always look for your posts because I know that you put time and effort into them with great success. From your location searches, to creative compositions, time of day... and final processing finishing touches. They synergy of it all.
