Exaggerate dkning of trees to blk at top with white outline next it -
Trees have a lacy edge at sunset time - at twilight, they commence to thicken - the leaves stand out clearly in partly isolated and massed rhythm. At the last light; the rhythms become fewer and heavier - at complete dkness the trees are solid silhouettes except perhaps for a solid odd shaped detached mass or two -
