Photorealistic Cottage on Castle Battlements

Photo-realistic render of a tiny stone cottage perched on the crenellated battlements of an ancient castle. The grey limestone parapets rise around the cottage, covered in moss and ivy. The cottage features a thatched roof, warm amber light glowing from leaded-glass windows, a stone chimney with curling smoke, a sturdy wooden door, and window boxes bursting with flowers. A narrow wooden balcony and a small stone terrace wrap the parapet, with a weathered ladder leading up to the platform. Beyond, the castle towers extend into a misty valley and distant hills. The scene is bathed in golden-hour light: long shadows, rich warm tones, pink-orange sky with dramatic clouds. Ultra-detailed textures: rough stone, moss, lichen, thatch, weathered wood, iron hinges. Lighting: HDR, global illumination, high dynamic range reflections. Composition: cinematic wide-angle shot, about 24-35mm equivalent, slight low-angle perspective to emphasize the battlements, with the cottage in sharp focus and distant battlements softly blurred. Style: hyper-realistic, 8K resolution, physically based rendering, photo-realistic fantasy realism.
