We study the effect of photospheric motions on the braiding and tangling of coronal magnetic fields. For that we make use of horizontal velocity data that was extracted from magnetograms using the local correlation tracking technique. By tracing trajectories we are able to compute the injected field line winding and finite time topological entropy. Both are quantitative measures of tangling that can be compared to the blinking vortex motion as a benchmark. Here we show that through photospheric motions there can indeed be substantial injection of winding into the system that can potentially be transfered into magnetic loops. This can potentially lead to thin magnetic structures that are potential sites of magnetic energy loss.
