Jungle Vines Overgrow Cairo Yardang at Dawn

by Dennis Spears

Thick emerald vines drape heavily across the jagged clay ridges of a wind-sculpted yardang near Cairo, their glossy leaves against the pale, dry earth. First light strikes the horizon haze, casting long, sharp shadows that stretch across the desert floor while the vines glow with an impossible saturation. The formation stands silhouetted against the brightening sky, its eroded edges softened by the sudden, dense growth of tropical foliage. Rough clay textures peek through the tangled greenery, showing where the dry season once held sway before this singular season of overgrowth. One vine root grips a sharp rock spur, anchoring the impossible vegetation to the ancient stone.
