Here's another photo to "mess with your mind". Another ..matter of scale.. photo

This is a real sunset and a real silhouette. But, the silhouette is not of trees. It is a thistle plant in an abandoned pasture. I had to stand in a ditch trying to avoid the barbed wire, and hoping to avoid any rattlesnakes!
