Amber Sunset Hoarfrost on Bare Branches in Nikko

by Jamie Stephenson

Rich amber sunlight washes over a network of bare tree branches, each coated in a thick, crystalline layer of hoarfrost. The ice crystals catch the low angle of the setting sun, turning the wood into a glowing skeleton against the sky. Soft white snowflakes drift downward, suspended in the golden air between the twigs. The view looks straight down from above, revealing the intricate spread of the branches against the darkening forest floor. Dark clouds move rapidly overhead, their shadows shifting across the frosty limbs. The texture of the ice is sharp and granular, against the smooth, falling snow. A cluster of frost-heavy twigs in the lower right corner bends slightly under the weight of the ice.
