These images are rare in two ways. For one, the timing has to e perfect in order for high tide to cover the Breakwater flat when there's still light for photography after the sculpture is finished. Now that sculptures take all day this is even more rare.
The other way is that this hurts. Spend all day on the beach pouring myself into a carefully made pile of sand and then I'm supposed to hang around and watch it wash away? I've done it once and that's enough. Steve talked me into this one and I feel no need to do it again.

This image is the first in a series of four I shot, with my tripod legs in the water, to show the flow patterns around the sculpture. Then I had to move back. The tide rose and the day got darker. Exposure time for the last images was up to 1/4 second, with the lens wide open.
