Autumn Birch Forest Golden Carpet Cuba

Golden leaves carpet the ground beneath slender white birch trunks that rise vertically into a pale sky. Low morning sun strikes the horizon haze, casting long, soft shadows across the dry grass. The air holds low-hanging clouds that diffuse the light, creating a muted glow over the meadow. The forest floor is a thick blanket of fallen foliage, against the smooth bark of the trees. In the distance, the haze softens the outline of the horizon, blending the sky and land. One shadow stretches across the golden carpet near the base of a central trunk.
