Stripped Cork Oak at Midnight Cliff Edge in along a salt-sprayed cliff edge near Missoula

Stripped Cork Oak at Midnight Cliff Edge

by Destiny Schultz

A lighthouse beam slices through heavy overcast skies, illuminating a cork oak perched precariously on a salt-sprayed cliff edge near Missoula. The tree's bark has been recently stripped, revealing vibrant orange wood that contrasts sharply against the dark, wet stone. Early winter frost dusts the surrounding grasses, which bend under the weight of salt and cold. The light sweeps across the rough texture of the stripped trunk, highlighting the jagged edges where the bark was removed. Below, the cliff drops away into shadow, while the beam catches the fine mist rising from the spray. The orange wood glows faintly in the moving light, standing out against the grey sky and dark rock face.
