The forest floor is carpeted in brown pine needles, their texture soft and layered. A fallen tree trunk lies partially broken, its bark rough and darkened with age. The exposed wood is splintered, revealing lighter, fibrous inner layers that curl and fray like dried parchment. A small branch rests across the broken section, adding a natural, unassuming contrast. Green ferns peek through the needles, their delicate fronds offering a touch of life against the earthy tones. The scene feels quiet, untouched, as if paused in the slow rhythm of nature’s decay and renewal. The light is diffused, casting gentle shadows that deepen the textures of bark, needle, and wood. It’s a moment of stillness, where decay and growth coexist in the understory.
