Tidal ripples around boulder. Boulder on a sandy beach, with sunlight, wind, and the tidal flow of water giving rise to ripples in the surrounding pool. Photographed in the Northam Burrows area of Devon, UK, in the Pebble Ridge part of the beach, an area where large stones such as this one are washed ashore from further down the coast

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of nature's artistic touch. Tidal ripples gracefully dance around a majestic boulder, creating an enchanting pattern in a tranquil pool. Bathed in sunlight and caressed by the wind, this scene unfolds on a sandy beach in the Northam Burrows area of Devon, UK. Located in the Pebble Ridge part of the beach, where large stones find their resting place after being carried ashore from distant coasts, this solitary boulder stands as a testament to the power of erosion and geological phenomena. Its weathered surface tells stories untold, while its presence adds depth to an already picturesque landscape. The dappled rock is embraced by flowing water from the tidal zone, which ebbs and flows with each passing wave. As if choreographed by nature itself, these ripples create an intricate tapestry that captivates any observer lucky enough to witness it. In this moment frozen in time by photographer Dr. Keith Wheeler from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our planet's natural wonders. The interplay between light and shadow reveals hidden details within every ripple and accentuates their delicate movements. As we gaze upon this breathtaking image, we are transported to a world where time seems to stand still - a sanctuary where earth meets sea and art merges with science.
