Dalmatian Barrier Beach Overwash Fans Noon Light

Pale sand fans spread across the valley floor where a barrier beach has breached, creating distinct sedimentary ridges under the harsh glare of midday sun. The dry season leaves the dunes bleached white against the deep blue of the Adriatic visible in the distance. Layers of terrain recede from the foreground, showing the texture of loose grains and compacted earth without any green vegetation. A thin layer of sea haze softens the horizon line where the sky meets the distant mountains. Sharp shadows define the ridges of the overwash fans, showing the rough, uneven surface of the sand. The final ridge casts a dark, linear shadow onto the flat valley floor.
