Sunset Walk with Friends at Griffith Observatory

Two friends strolling along a curved stone path near Griffith Observatory as the sun sets over Los Angeles. The observatory’s iconic domes and telescope balconies rise in the midground, bathed in warm golden hour light. A glow of orange, pink, and lavender paints the sky while city lights twinkle in the valley below. Palm trees sway gently, long shadows stretch across the ground, and the friends are dressed casually (one in a denim jacket with sneakers, the other in a light hoodie and backpack). They walk side by side, smiling, their silhouettes softly contrasted against the glowing horizon. The railing along the path, textures of stone and metal, and subtle lens flare from the low sun add realism. A cinematic, photorealistic style with high detail, shallow depth of field around them, and a gentle atmospheric haze to evoke a serene sunset moment. Use a 35mm perspective with warm, natural lighting, balanced composition using the rule of thirds.
