Dutch Windmill Reflected in Catalan Canal Dawn

Cold silver dawn light washes over a traditional Dutch windmill standing beside a narrow canal in Catalonia. The structure, painted white with dark wooden blades, rises sharply against a pale sky. Still water mirrors the mill perfectly, doubling its height and creating a symmetrical axis down the center of the view. A thin layer of sea haze blurs the distant horizon where the canal meets the open sea. Frost coats the grassy banks in patches of white, indicating early winter. The water surface remains glassy, holding the sharp, inverted image of the mill without a ripple. Dark shadows stretch across the wet ground, showing the low angle of the morning sun. at the edge is the crisp edge where the white reflection meets the dark water line.
