Storm Clouds Over Kaunas Prairie at Dawn

Midsummer frost coats the flat prairie grass in a crystalline white layer that stretches toward the horizon. Above, a massive wall of stacked thunderheads dominates the sky, their dark gray undersides pressing low against the pale nautical dawn. Soft, diffused light washes the landscape in cool tones, revealing no harsh shadows. The clouds form distinct horizontal bands, creating a heavy, layered depth that recedes into the distance. Frost rests on the tips of the bent grass stalks in the foreground, glistening faintly against the muted green and brown earth. The horizon line remains sharp, separating the frozen ground from the advancing storm system.
