Description
I'm back home for a moment. The other day I took a little road trip up the coast. I've been wanting to drive to Crescent City**. It's a beautiful drive, along the coast and also thru Redwood National Park***.
The funny thing is I had a landscaping job and needed some very specific decorative rock. It was only available at Home Depot and we don't have one here (poor us, no WalMart either!!). My client offered to pay my travel, so how could I say no?
But, this foto is actually in Trinidad***, only about 30 miles north of me. I spent more time there than in CC, just the way it went that day. I walked along the beach and there were several little streams winding their way to the bay.
Oh yeah, I did get the rock, a friend said I was the only person he knew who'd drive 90 miles for rocks!!

Sounds like you friend was implying...rocks in the head? LOL. Like this pic of water cutting a path through the sand...lots of texture...I can feel it as if walking with bare feet.
It makes that landscaping job more special. Nice capature. Aloha
I love this!!
very nice shot
fascinating capture !
superb capture!
Ooh, I love these little runnels through the sand...no two alike, wonderful patterns. Sounds like you had a great time!
Superlative composition of the streamlet, with its various colors and textures, Maz. The lamb chop shaped one looks like flowing lava after it's cooled. The section at the lower left looks like onyx. I could make a funny about driving all that way for rocks, but being a gentleman, I'll refrain from that. And, one has to live on Mars not to have a Home Depot and/or Wal-Mart in their area. Unbelievable.
makes a wonderful abstract
well aside from the fact that you quoted me and "outed" me (lol), I love the shot as much now as I did then. (Even here away from Hawaii you found magic, as you do in the rest of your gallery.) This has real music; the textures & planes of different hues all make a patchwork of themes. And the big chunk of black shadow is great too, you aren't afraid to let an area of black just sit there and be part of the shot. It's like a small continent, and it terraces down from right to left, ending in the water atop—lots of different motions here. A fine piece of photographic seeing, fine work.
