Beach tracks

It's not unusual to see vehicles cleaning and raking the sand of beaches that are heavily used by holidaymakers. In such places it is a daily, or even twice daily, occurence. Many years ago tracks of this kind added to a slightly surreal shot I took of the beach at Blackpool, Lancashire. The tracks in the photograph above were made by vehicles preparing for beach motorcycle racing at Skegness, Lincolnshire, a task that involved not only raking level but also the creation of mounds and hollows to add to the excitement of the event.
