Solitary Tree in a Vast Desert Under Clear Blue Sky

A solitary, weathered tree with a gnarled trunk and sparse leaves stands alone in a vast, cracked desert plain. The horizon stretches to a flawless, deep azure sky as the blazing sun casts sharp, long shadows and heat haze shimmers above the golden sand and wind-sculpted dunes. Ultra-detailed photorealism, wide-angle perspective, 8k resolution, high dynamic range with vivid cobalt sky and warm ochre sand. Composition centers the tree with expansive negative space, horizon about one-third from the bottom, evoking solitude and resilience.
