Dried Mud Cracks Riverbed New Jersey Floodplain

by Alyssa Hicks

Pale gray mud stretches across the New Jersey floodplain, fractured into a complex network of deep polygonal fissures. Late spring light filters softly through the rain-washed sky, illuminating the rough, powdery texture of the dried earth. Tiny white ice crystals rest on the jagged edges of the cracks and the sparse, low green shoots emerging from the soil, creating a stark contrast against the dark, wet sediment. The flat horizon emphasizes the geometric precision of the drying mud, while the frost adds a crystalline sheen to the entire surface. A narrow channel of water reflects the overcast sky, cutting through the center of the cracked terrain.
