Cotton Candy Waves (Things Unseen)

Pre-dawn pastels and cotton candy waves at my most favorite beach in the world: Secrets.
I was drawn to the lines and patterns in the sand. I think I took four shots all in this little area, and when i got in the car and reviewed the session, i noticed this figure in the sand. I see him as a warrior or protector because on this morning about 7 surfers hiked down to the beach, carrying their boards with them, but no one got in. The swell was just too heavy and too confused. The old Hawaiians would say that on days like this one, only the gods would surf because only the gods had enough mana to match power of the wild waves.
