Monochrome Dunes: Serene Desert in Soft Sunlight

Monochrome desert scene of rolling sand dunes, grayscale palette, with ultrafine ripple patterns and wind-carved textures across dune surfaces. Soft, low-angle sunlight caresses the ridges, casting long, delicate shadows and highlighting intricate patterns. The atmosphere is serene and minimalist: a calm horizon, pale gradient sky, no vegetation or birds. Photorealistic, high-detail textures, cinematic lighting, macro detail on sand grains, subtle graininess and smooth tonal transitions.
