A photo of a tree at dusk, it is nearly monochromatic but there is a light tinge of orange in the background. The tree has no leaves and looks skeletal. There are a few birds on the branches but it otherwise looks lonely. Next to it at the right edge of the frame is an evergreen conifer stretching nearly to the top and around the same height as our skeletal tree. To the left edge of the frame, another evergreen that is shorter. Behind our tree are a couple other evergreens but there is a screen of fog masking them. The bottom third is nearly black in the thickness of branches.
A photograph of the night sky. The silhouette of a tree on the right, hill and bushes on the bottom. The sky is mostly dark blue but a significant amount of purple and magenta washes over the bottom right side of the sky (to the north).
