Stark Tree
1956

A black and white photograph depicting a dramatic night scene with a full moon partially obscured by clouds. Mist or fog blankets rolling hills, and the silhouette of a leafless tree with gnarled branches stands prominently in the foreground. The overall mood is eerie and mysterious.
