Here is a perfect example of why you should be careful walking on an unspoiled beach at low tide. I had to approach this spot from the background hill by walking on the very far left-side of this beach, so as to not have any footprints should I wish to photograph the length of this beach. The beach was so perfect that I felt bad even walking here. But others had no guilt and neither did their dogs, so I had to shoot fast since there was a walker and a dog just behind those rocks in the middle-ground! Moments later, there were tracks everywhere and the patterns in the stream were ruined for the day. But I had my shot in the bag!
