Are you looking at a painting? A sketch? Or something even more incredible?
These “trees” were, in fact, all created naturally as water slowly trickled through grains of sand on the beach at Pachena Bay near Bamfield. While walking along the shore this past weekend, I was blown away by what appeared to be perfect drawings of trees beneath my feet. Big swirling trunks and branches arose, dotted with knots and other details. The combination of light and dark sands even made for accurate shading. Beyond individual trees, there were even whole “groves” of giants! I’ve seen simpler versions before, but nothing as detailed and realistic as this. Mother Nature never fails to impress.
Have you noticed these "sand" or "tidal" trees before? Whereabouts?
