Fresh Snow Patterns in a Serene Winter Landscape

An expansive winter landscape just after a fresh snowfall. The ground is a pristine blanket of powdery snow, revealing intricate wind-sculpted patterns, scalloped drifts, and tiny ice-crystal textures that glitter in the light. In the foreground, close-up texture of crystal facets and frost-edged mounds; midground features a silent stand of evergreen trees lightly dusted with snow; distant hills rise under a soft, pale blue sky with warm pink-gold hints from the early sun. The scene is bathed in diffused, tranquil light, casting long, gentle shadows that emphasize surface texture. Color palette: icy whites and blues with subtle touches of pale gold. Composition is a wide landscape shot with a gentle depth of field to accent foreground textures while keeping the background serene. Mood: calm, pristine, contemplative.
