Silhouette Sunset

It just might be an effort in vain trying to add words to describe the image above. In fact, words fail me on this. Thankfully, no words are needed. Maybe, just “silhouette sunset“.

“Hakuro Nishiki”. Sounds like a character from a Manga (Japanese comic) 🙂

An ornamental plant, the dappled willow (“Hakuro Nishiki” in Japanese)is a species of willow native to northeastern China, Japan, Korea and Primorsky Krai in the far southeast of Russia. It is widely grown for its variegated foliage, with the leaves strongly mottled with patches and blotches of white and pale pink, as seen in the photo.
