Striped Hyena Windblown Sand Winter Evening in in Switzerland

Striped Hyena Windblown Sand Winter Evening

by Jill Thompson

Grey volcanic sand stretches across a flat plain under a heavy winter sky. A striped hyena moves left to right, its fur matted and lifted by a stiff crosswind. The animal's spine curves slightly as it navigates the loose grains. In the far distance, faint orange lights from a Swiss town glow against the darkening horizon. Small birds scatter in a chaotic burst of grey feathers near the hyena's path, reacting to the sudden movement. The ground is bare, showing no snow cover, only the dark, coarse texture of the sand. The hyena's ears are pinned back against the wind, and its tail hangs low, trailing in the grit. A sharp shadow falls to the right of the hyena, cast by the fading evening light. The birds create a small cloud of motion against the stillness of the distant glow.
