Winter Chalk Cliffs Over Blue Sea Near Vancouver

Hard coastal glare illuminates a stark white chalk cliff face rising vertically from deep blue waters. Green turf crowns the cliff edge, appearing muted and damp against the winter sky. Fine rain streaks through the air, creating a soft veil that blurs the horizon line. The rock surface shows vertical striations and patches of dark mineral staining where water has run down. Below, the ocean churns with white foam where waves crash against the base. The turf atop the cliff looks heavy with moisture, pressing down against the bright stone. A small bird rests on a protruding ledge, its dark feathers against the pale rock. The wet surfaces reflect the overhead light, making the white stone glow against the grey sky.
