Meteor Fireball Over Lantern Lit Harbor at Patan

A brilliant fireball meteor streaks across the deep night sky, its luminous tail cutting through the silvery winter air. Below, the harbor near Patan glows with rows of small lanterns dotting the stone edges and wooden structures. The wind whips loose fabric on nearby stalls and bends the thin branches of autumn trees shedding their last golden leaves. Cold light reflects off the dark water, creating sharp silver paths that mirror the meteor's path. Stone walls rise steeply from the shore, their rough textures illuminated by the flickering warm glow of the lanterns. The scene balances the vast, cold distance of the cosmic event with the intimate, human scale of the harbor lights. One lantern flame flickers violently against the wind on the nearest railing.
