Interesting curvilinear lines on this driftwood on the beach at Camaronal in Costa Rica.
I’m always trying to capture these curving lines in sketches. Here’s one:
eliza great pics! have you been to Muir Creek Beach with all the fossils!?
I’ve been to Muir Creek Beach a couple of times – the last time the tide was high so we didn’t see anything, and the time before we spent our time watching a ‘fisherman’ gather masses of flat seaweed for nori/sushi – I’ve seen some fossils nearby at Sandcut Beach – where are the Muir Creek ones?
you have to walk aways down the beach!
Stunning… well done!
A bit late, I know, but I finally finished the post…
Something about the second photo is very intriguing to my eyes. Maybe the stones lodged in-between layers. Wonderful post! ❤
on this particular beach the beach pebbles were often semi-precious jasper in the Rasta colours of red, gold and green. Although it’s not really possible (or even legal) to haul stumps of driftwood from Costa Rica I am hoping to find a similar stump on the local beaches that can be inlaid with polished beach pebbles…
🙂
Lovely, lovely driftwood.
I love to find driftwood with sinuous lines; those lines show up mostly at the bottom of the tree and can include a tangle of roots. Do you get much driftwood on the Cornwall beaches?
I haven’t come across any, sadly. But I do have a piece in my garden which the previous owner left behind.
