Relaxed

This has to be the most relaxed competition in the history of hang gliding competitions. Since the first start isn't until 4:30, we have most of the day to cruise around, swim, surf, do tandems, whatever we like. I've been either running or walking on the beach every morning. While walking, I'm always collecting seashells (heaps of sand dollars here!!), but not until today did I notice these beautiful natural forests painted in the sand.

Is the view of the forests from 5 feet above them, or from the air? Any idea what is creating them?

Its while walking on the beach. Its caused because there's magnetita on the sand, that its leavier than normal sand, so when the waves washes out of the beach it comes down those trails washing out the lighter sand and showing the heavier magnetita underneat.
