Alpine Lichen Garden Boulder Night Shadow in near Thimphu

Alpine Lichen Garden Boulder Night Shadow

by Jerry Moran

Deep shadow swallows a massive boulder resting in a late spring landscape near Thimphu. A thin rim of light outlines the rough, gray stone where patches of pale green and gray lichen rest on the rock face. Dramatic clouds drift overhead, their dark undersides heavy with moisture against a faintly glowing sky. The lichen garden forms a textured mosaic on the stone's surface, barely visible in the low light. One streak of moonlight catches the edge of a lichen cluster, highlighting its crusty texture against the surrounding darkness. The boulder stands silent and still, its form defined only by the sharp contrast between the shadowed front and the illuminated rim.
