Sphagnum Moss Carpet Along Bordeaux Cliff Edge

Soft overcast light spreads evenly across a dense carpet of vibrant green sphagnum moss clinging to the damp earth. The texture appears spongy and layered, rising in gentle undulations that catch the faint pre-dawn gray of the sky. Along the right edge, dry leaves skitter across the surface, caught in a sudden gust that ruffles the moss tips. Salt spray has etched a pale, crystalline sheen onto the lower fronds where the wind from the Atlantic meets the cliff face. The horizon line sits high, placing the mossy foreground in the lower third, while the muted sky occupies the upper two-thirds. A cluster of dark, wet stones anchors the left corner, against the soft, yielding greenery. The light remains flat and cool, revealing no shadows, only the subtle variations in the moss's texture.
