Well done Chris!
It's difficult to get those patterns right with the typical light
brown sand. Magic light in this one.

Water draining across the sand on the falling tide has made this
fractal-like pattern around a stone.

When we find the PDML physics professor, perhaps she or he will be able to
tell us how it works...

That's a Geology question :-) Did you remove the stone? or did you
find it removed?
It looks like a depression, not a rock or shell ... It looks like you
are close to the water
and the tide was ebbing and you removed the stone or shell just before
you took the photo.
30 years ago I could have expounded on the process although fluviation
was never my strong suit.
Nice shot :-)
