The dawn air hung heavy with the scent of salt and damp earth as the tide slowly retreated, leaving behind a perfectly still ribbon of water on the shore.

Mirror of the Cliffs

The dawn air hung heavy with the scent of salt and damp earth as the tide slowly retreated, leaving behind a perfectly still ribbon of water on the shore. These imposing limestone massifs, cloaked in ancient greenery, seemed to stretch outward to meet their own pristine reflections cast upon the glassy pool below. Every ridge of stone and patch of jungle was doubled by the sand-bound mirror, creating a fleeting symmetrical world where the sky and sea seamlessly unified before the morning waves could shatter the illusion.
