River Flow From Cave Mouth On Misty Floodplain

Pale nautical dawn light traces the rim of a jagged cave mouth where dark water spills onto a muddy floodplain. Thick mist blankets the low ground, softening the distant horizon into a gray wash. Deep shadow fills the cave interior, against the cool silver reflection on the wet surface of the emerging river. The current spreads slowly across the silt, carving a narrow channel beside clumps of late spring grass. One flat stone sits half-submerged in the shallow flow at the water's edge, its rough texture visible against the smooth, dark liquid.
