Traces of Water 10Aerial photography documenting the beauty of tidal rivers and structures On certain coastlines, mostly those with a very high tidal range, spectacular sand formations occur when the ocean water recedes. Seen from the air, it quickly becomes clear that the water does not always take the shortest way back. During this process unique characteristics of partially waterways are formed. This results in the formation of some very diverse sand structures
