Freezing Rain Crystals on Venezuelan Forest at Sunset

Marine fog rolls through a dense Venezuelan forest as freezing rain coats every surface in thick, jagged ice crystals. The setting sun casts a warm, amber glow that contrasts sharply with the cool, translucent sheen of the rime. Layers of trees recede into the mist, their branches heavy with frozen precipitation. The light catches the edges of the ice, creating sharp highlights against the dark, damp foliage. A low-hanging cloud obscures the horizon, while individual droplets freeze instantly upon contact with the bark. at the edge is a single branch bent under the weight of the ice, its surface glinting like scattered glass in the fading firelight.
