The strands look draped down the sides of the cliff, and almost as desiccated as the earth itself.  The rains of the past month have made only a bit of a difference to our desert-meets-the-sea climate.  You can see bits of brighter, yellow-green growth which resulted from that extra moisture.  The silvery stuff provides a quiet contrast.

‘A quiet contrast’ is a nice notion for a piece of art.  I will think about that.
