Old Man Beard Lichen on Salt Cliff Beersheba

by Stefan Bowman

Bright noon light flattens the texture of pale, stringy lichen hanging from a dark conifer branch near a salt-sprayed cliff edge. The gray-green strands dangle vertically, creating a dense curtain against the rough, bleached bark of the tree. Fine white salt crystals coat the surrounding rocks and rest on the lichen fibers, evidence of the constant sea spray. The sky above is a washed-out white, offering no shadows to define depth. In the lower third, the rough surface of the cliff face meets the base of the tree, at the base of the hanging strands in the arid, sun-baked landscape. The lichen ends in sharp, frayed tips that catch the harsh glare.
