A pair of wiry, leafless trees screen an evening view of Osaka's Dotonbori River. Across the water, hanging lanterns and warm lights glow in the windows of a multi-story building; below, reflected light is scattered on the surface of the river. Above, the starless evening sky is a dim purple.

Sunset at Nagoya Castle. The castle is a dim silhouette, the sky above and behind the building fading from pale blue through yellow to a more intense orange at the horizon. Trees in the foreground have shed most of their leaves; stray puddles across the uneven ground beneath the castle reflect the changing colours of the sky.
