Evening landscape of Lake BūšniekiEroded coastal cliff with layered sand and pine trees, Stāvkrasts, Piekraste, Krauja, Jūras krasts, Daba

The image shows a prominent coastal bluff featuring exposed layers of sand and clay in varying earthy tones. Vertical and slanted erosion lines give the slope a dynamic appearance, indicating ongoing shaping by wind and water. At the base, the bluff transitions into a smooth band of sand that forms the natural edge of the beach.

In the midsection, scattered stones and irregular formations catch the sunlight, highlighting the diverse textures within the sediment. Small patches of vegetation—grasses and shrub-like plants—grow where enough substrate has collected to support roots, emphasizing the gradual and uneven nature of coastal erosion. Their presence creates a subtle contrast between delicate plant life and the massive geological face.

At the top of the bluff, several coniferous trees, likely pines (Pinus sp.), stand with partially exposed roots due to erosion. Their upright silhouettes are clearly outlined against the bright sky. Overall, the scene illustrates the dynamic character of a coastal landscape continuously reshaped by natural forces.
