Aurora Over Weathered Huts in Sapporo

Vibrant green ribbons of the aurora borealis stretch across a deep indigo sky above a row of weathered fishing huts in Sapporo's old quarter. Gentle snowflakes drift through the last blue light of evening, catching the glow of the lights below. The wooden structures, aged by salt and time, stand in sharp relief against the luminous backdrop. Their dark, textured surfaces absorb the ambient light while the sky remains brilliantly alive with movement. A charged tension hangs in the air as the snow falls softly onto the roofs and the frozen ground. The horizon line is low, showing the vastness of the celestial display above the rustic buildings. One reflection of the green light glimmers on a patch of wet ice near the foreground.
