Okay, so this is not hair, but it always reminds me of a slightly punkish do, combed and coiffed by the tidal currents of the Mousam River in its ebb and flow where it meets the current from a small feeder stream and evidently sets up a swirling eddy. Hurricane Irene brought a storm surge that flooded the marsh at high tide with particular energy, backed up all the feeder streams, and left the grasses extra styled.

I reached out with the tele-range of the Coolpix zoom to frame this small section of the pattern. This is a wider view and you can clearly see where the swirl sits as the tide goes out.

And one more view, near the full reach of the zoom, to isolate the pattern more.
