Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: A wide expanse of misty river at the exact moment of sunrise. Far ahead across the water stand rows of old wooden stilt houses on tall weathered posts, their silhouettes dark against the brightening sky. Thinning fog drifts in horizontal layers above the glassy water. The river stretches vast and calm, dotted with faint distant lantern glows and small drifting boat silhouettes. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Wide vertical shot, low eye-level angle just above the water surface, looking across the open river toward the horizon where the sun rises behind the stilt houses. The horizon sits in the lower-middle third, leaving the upper vertical space for the glowing sky and thinning mist. Upright framing, no tilt, deep symmetrical calm. LIGHTING: The first thin sliver of golden-white sun edges over the silhouetted stilt houses, sending a long shimmering path of molten gold light rippling straight across the water toward the camera. Backlit scene: houses and boats become dark silhouettes rimmed with fire-gold light. Sky transitions from cool lavender-indigo at the top to warm coral, peach, and honey near the horizon. Soft, glowing, never harsh. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Awakening, hopeful, awe-inspiring yet gentle. The precise moment mystery gives way to warmth and life. Meditative and reverent. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: No characters in frame (narrator only) — the environment itself is the subject. COLORS: Cool indigo and teal in the upper sky and lingering shadow-mist, blooming into coral, peach, amber, and molten gold near the sun; the water mirrors these warm tones in a shimmering central path. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Weathered dark wood of stilt house posts and roofs, glassy rippling water surface, soft feathery mist, corrugated tin and thatch roof silhouettes catching gold rims. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — glassy water with the golden light-path beginning close to camera, tiny ripples catching light. Midground — thinning horizontal fog banks and a few small dark boat silhouettes drifting. Background — the row of silhouetted stilt houses and the cresting sun with a burst of soft radiance. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Thinning morning fog lifting off the water, tiny mist particles glowing in the sunlight, faint steam rising from the warming river surface. MICRO-DETAILS: The shimmering broken reflection of the sun scattered across gentle ripples; a lone bird silhouette crossing the glow; wisps of fog curling upward as they meet the first warmth; the crisp fire-gold rim tracing each rooftop. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.
