Nature Image of the week No.3
Sand patterns on a beach.  Some things are quite permanent, like rocks.  Some things are more temporary, like sand.  Some things are so transient they don't appear to be there at all, like the water which has painted these patterns in the sand.

Spent ages photographing these miniature landscapes, and wasn't 100% pleased with any of the shots, but this is the one I was most pleased with.  When I say ages, I don't actually have that much time for these sorts of things, and what time I do have ebbs away very quickly.
