A vertically oriented, black-and-white photograph depicts a wind-swept landscape. On our right, a thick, gnarled willow trunk leans inward, its spindly branches fluttering left. A slender tree on our left mirrors this tilt. Long, dark shadows stretch across a flat field toward the distant horizon. Under a mottled gray sky, the grainy texture highlights the stark contrast between the leaning trees and the expansive plain.
