This is the picture where I first discovered carstreaks. They're not headlights - they're actually the sun's specular reflections off the shiny surfaces of moving cars. Head and tail lights are too faint to record. That's the famous surfing beach in Trinidad, California down there. There are plenty of ghost cars in the parking lot, along with campervans that have been there all day. The tide lines are clearly visible, and there's a carstreak going up the big hill.
