Silhouetted Lotus Blossoms in Basins at Twilight

Dark outlines of lotus flowers rest inside shallow metal basins, their shapes stark against a fading violet sky. The basins sit upon a forest floor covered in dense fern fronds, their edges sharp against the dim light. Rain streaks through the air, catching the last glow of twilight as wind whips the long green leaves into motion. The water inside the basins ripples, reflecting the gray sky above. Shadows stretch across the damp earth, merging with the dark forms of the plants. One fern tip bends low, pressing against the rim of a tin basin filled with water.
