Bus on Colorado Mountain Switchback Above Clouds

A yellow transit bus navigates a tight switchback on a high Colorado mountain road. Thick white mist fills the valley below, creating a solid sea of clouds that the asphalt path cuts through. Deep shadows cloak the road surface and the vehicle's undercarriage, while a sharp rim of golden light traces the bus's upper edge and the distant ridgeline. City lights begin to puncture the horizon, glowing faintly through the haze at the base of the slope. The road curves sharply, its white lane markings leading toward a vanishing point lost in the fog. One reflective marker glows red on the guardrail post nearest the curve.
