Green Aurora Over Snowy Birch Forest Noon

Soft white light from a flat noon sky illuminates a dense stand of birch trees blanketed in fresh snow. The pale, peeling bark of the trunks contrasts with the dark, wet earth peeking through patches of melting ice. Above the canopy, a faint green aurora glows softly, its ribbons stretching horizontally across the gray expanse. Snowflakes drift downward in a gentle, steady rhythm, landing on the white branches and creating a textured surface. The ground appears uneven, shaped by the thaw and the weight of the snow. One fallen branch rests on the icy slope, its dark wood stark against the surrounding whiteness.
