Almost bare branches in late December just before sunset. They were found on trees growing next to the Willamette River.

Just beyond the almost bare trees, a motor vehical bridge spanned the Willamette River. Below the bridge, on the other side of the river, was a park. On this side, a paved path ran alongside the river.

Almost bare branches on a nearby tree were the only thing clear on that foggy, cold dawn.

Fallen branches fell into the river to form a tangle near the shore. The ground alongside the river was covered in a translucent frost. The frost had formed because of freezing temperatures.
