Field guide No. 542
Cloud completes the chalk cliff
The missing bit, filled in fluffy.
A long white chalk cliff above a calm sea has a bite out of its edge, and a cloud sits in the gap at exactly the cliff's height and shape. Temporary repairs, weather permitting.
Field noteChalk falls into the sea and stays gone. Here a cloud has settled into the gap, cliff-shaped.
