Silhouetted Caribou Stag Crossing Glacial Stream in above a glacial stream in Odisha

Silhouetted Caribou Stag Crossing Glacial Stream

by Richard Thomas

A dark caribou stag moves through a carpet of fallen brown leaves, its antlers forming a jagged silhouette against the bright late afternoon sky. Tropical light falls through a thin layer of light fog that hangs low over the glacial stream, softening the distant water's edge. The animal steps carefully, muscles taut with alert tension as the side wind ruffles the dry foliage. In the background, a flock of birds scatters into the hazy air, their white shapes flashing briefly before vanishing. The water reflects the pale sky, while the stag's hooves press into the damp earth, creating small depressions in the leaf litter. The scene balances the stillness of the cool season with the sudden movement of the scattering birds.
