Those trees are clearly winning the 'best silhouette' contest.

The sun dipped lower, gilding the lake's surface with a quiet brilliance. The skeletal trees stood unmoving, their reflections fractured by ripples that seemed to carry whispers from another time. It felt as though the landscape was holding its breath, caught between light and shadow. I walked closer to the water’s edge, where the air carried a faint coolness that hinted at nightfall. The interplay of light and dark reminded me of old photographs—timeless and unspoken. A flock of birds passed overhead, their cries breaking through the stillness for a fleeting moment before fading into the horizon. This place seemed to speak in riddles, its beauty both stark and tender.
