Purple Waves

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Stupidity Hole

The last excursion for this semester involved examining purple waves and their effects on inter-tidal zones and beach profiles.

The harmless dye was used to show how a rip current was flowing.

It, like the forms of the waves, was quite “Temporary“, stretching out before dissipating.

I like the forms of waves. It’s interesting in that I don’t think many people think of them being temporary due to how present they seem to be.

I also like how the dye mixes with the waves as they crash.

This is my submission into The Daily Post‘s photo challenge for this week.

I hope you enjoy.

  It followed the rip currents.
  
  One followed the length the beach before heading out, one curved back in, one went out and dissipated.
