Gone With the Tide

Ephemeral as a sand painting or a sand mandala. I guess you could caall this a sand etching on the beach at Seal Rock on the Oregon coast. Orig.inal image is on Oregon Coast Photography on FB. I believe Karen Chalmers is the photographer

Seal Rock is basically a wide spot on the highway. The rock outcroppings extend about two miles north towards Newport. The owl carved into the sand is a soon to be gone with the tide example of Oregon Beach Sand Art. I've seen shots of dozens of labyriths but few as elaborate as this wise old owl. Here now. Gone with the high tide, only a memory with the low tide.

Darn the brain is not working smoothly today.  But how odd. When I opened this entry to check the results my eyes almost ignored the sand art and were pulled to the horizon. Not much to see. Just the  almost emdless sea.
