River Through Ancient Ruins – A 3D Rendered Scene

Ultra-detailed photorealistic 3D render of a serene river meandering through ancient ruins. Crumbling stone arches, weathered columns, and carved reliefs rise along both banks, with moss, ivy, and lichen clinging to the ruins. The river surface is glassy with gentle ripples and accurate reflections of the ruined structures and overcast sky. Subtle caustics ripple across the riverbed. Mist and volumetric fog weave through the arches, while warm dawn light casts long shadows and golden highlights on damp stone. The scene uses physically-based rendering with global illumination, high-detail textures (wet stone, moss, cracked plaster), and a shallow depth of field from a water-level camera angle. The mood is hushed, timeless, and slightly haunting.
