## Prompt

- Model: GPT Image 2

```text
Create a cinematic ultra-realistic aerial wide shot of a grand medieval Gothic stone castle standing alone on a rocky hilltop in a vast natural highland landscape. The castle has weathered gray masonry, crenellated curtain walls, arched gatehouse, a stone bridge and winding dirt road leading to the entrance, red vertical banners, narrow lancet windows, steep dark slate roofs, and an inner courtyard. Include exactly 10 prominent roofed vertical structures: 5 large round curtain-wall towers with conical slate roofs around the perimeter, 4 tall corner turrets on the central keep, and 1 smaller rear spire. The central keep should rise highest, with cathedral-like Gothic windows and a dramatic fortified silhouette. Surround it with rolling hills, scattered rocks, sparse grasses, small streams, distant mountains, and a wide cloudy sky. Lighting is golden hour near sunset, with warm low sunlight from the left breaking through dramatic clouds, cool blue-gray shadows, and atmospheric haze over the distant valleys. Use a high-end fantasy film production look, photorealistic materials, detailed stone texture, realistic terrain, volumetric clouds, natural color grading, 16:9 landscape composition, viewed from a slightly elevated drone perspective. No people, no modern objects, no text, no watermark.
