Snow-Capped Peaks Meet Desert Red Rocks

An expansive, cinematic landscape at near-dusk: on the left, jagged snow-covered alpine peaks looming over a forest of wind-swept pines. To the right, the arid Utah desert features red sandstone mesas, buttes, and scattered sagebrush, all carved by a dry wash into the desert floor. A dramatic, cloud-laden sky fills the top, with thick gray thunderheads and occasional sunbeams breaking through to cast warm highlights on the red rocks. The foreground shows a snow-dusted rocky outcrop and a frost-kissed plain that blends into the desert, creating a sharp contrast between icy blues and whites and earthy reds, oranges, and greens. The scene is hyper-detailed, photorealistic, with high dynamic range, deep depth of field, and a wide-angle composition that emphasizes scale, atmosphere, and the dramatic meeting of seasons.
