Mossy Stones and Ancient Oaks in Guayaquil Forest in on a fern-lined forest floor near Guayaquil

Mossy Stones and Ancient Oaks in Guayaquil Forest

by Lucille Dickerson

Thick emerald moss carpets the surfaces of upright standing stones, their gray stone faces softened by centuries of damp growth. Above, the rough bark of ancient oaks creates a dense canopy that fractures the harsh noon sun into shifting patches of bright white and deep shadow. Ferns line the forest floor, their fronds unfurled in the cool season air, pressing against the base of the stones. Low-hanging clouds drift overhead, diffusing the light into a flat glare that highlights the texture of the lichen and the wet sheen on the moss. The contrast between the bright, sun-dappled leaves and the dark, shadowed crevices of the stone creates a bold visual rhythm. one drop of condensation rests on the tip of a nearby fern frond.
