Enchanting Snow-Lanterns in Winter Night

A tranquil winter night scene with enchanting snow-covered lanterns along a quiet cobblestone lane. Antique lanterns hang from black wrought-iron posts; their glass panes are frosted, with delicate icicles along the edges. A warm amber glow pours from within, spilling onto fresh powder and painting the snow in golden hues, while soft reflections shimmer on the glittering drifts. Snowflakes drift slowly through the air, catching the lantern light. In the distance, snow-dusted pines frame a cozy cottage emitting a gentle glow. The sky is a deep indigo with a crescent moon and distant stars. Rendered in photorealistic, cinematic style with 8k resolution, volumetric light, and shallow depth of field so the foreground lanterns pop against a softly blurred background. Emphasize textures: frost on glass, delicate frost patterns, rough iron, and powdery snow. Color palette contrasts warm amber yellows/oranges with cool midnight blues and purples. Mood: serene, magical, and comforting, capturing the beauty of winter nights.
