Moonlight

A moonlit farmyard at night, with a pale moon behind thin clouds. A wheelbarrow loaded with sticks sits in the foreground beside a low wall, while a dog stands near a barn at right and a wooden gate stands open in the distance.

Look closer: A bare tree silhouetted against the sky at the upper right edge.
