An earthquake that occurred approximately 30 miles underground and registered 6.8 on the Richter Scale shook the Earth's surface for about 30 seconds near Olympia, Washington on February 28, 2001. A pendulum that makes tracings in sand was sitting in a shop in Port Townsend, Washington and traced this pretty, rose-shaped design in the sand during the 'quake.
Read more about the "earthquake rose" at the photographer's website.

Id never seen one of those pendulums that draws in sand before. Be interesting to see what other vibrations, man made and natural make.
