Remember how much fun it is to draw in the sand at the beach, using naught but your finger or a stick?
Jim Denevan offers a fresh take on sand art, albeit at an enormous and prolific scale. He’s graced northern California with hundreds of beach drawings, each disappearing as nature takes its course: sun, wind and ocean waves gradually erode the short-lived marks, often in the same day they were created.
Here’s a samplingĀ of his work; many more beautiful aerial photographs can be found on his website.
