Winter at Serra da Estrela Observatory, Guarda

Photorealistic winter landscape at Serra da Estrela in the Guarda District, central Portugal. Snow blankets a high plateau where frosted pines cling to granite ridges. A modern astronomical observatory with white domed roofs sits on the edge of the ridge, its domes glinting with frost and a brick-red base, weather instruments and cables visible. A snow-covered path winds toward the building, footprints fading in fresh powder. Distant valleys lie in soft mist as rolling hills fade into a pale blue dawn sky with subtle pink alpenglow. Crisp, cold air; visible breath; a serene, silent winter scene with cinematic lighting. Ultra-detailed, high-resolution.
