Cungulla Tyre
This huge tyre was dumped on the mudflat at Cungulla, QLD, by locals trying to stem the erosive forces of storm-driven waves. I like that the ridges in the tyre mirror the natural ridges in the sand.

The ripples in the sand work well with the profile of the tyre. The light makes the texture of the rubber surface come out well. Well done!
