This black-and-white photo shows a quiet forest scene at dusk. Tall, thin trees stand close together, their trunks stretching straight up. Light filters through the branches, casting soft patches on the ground. In the distance, a hill rises, and the sky is barely visible above the treetops. The photo feels still, like time has slowed down. The lighting suggests late afternoon, with shadows deepening between the trees. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
