Tepui Mountain Above Cloud Forest in Venezuela

A massive flat-topped tepui rises abruptly from a sea of dense green cloud forest in Venezuela. The rock face displays vertical striations of grey and ochre, catching the harsh midday sun. Low-hanging white clouds rest on the forest canopy below, obscuring the valley floor. The sky above is a pale, washed-out blue, clear and dry. Moss patches rest on the lower rock ledges, adding texture to the stone. The horizon line sits in the lower third, showing the verticality of the formation. Sharp shadows define the rugged edges of the plateau against the soft, billowing mist below.
