Misty Mountain Terraces Above Pokhara Rooftops

Hard coastal glare illuminates a steep mountain face carved into stepped agricultural terraces. The landscape rises diagonally from the lower left, creating a jagged rhythm against the sky. Below the high ridges, a dense cluster of patterned rooftops near Pokhara appears small and geometric. Early autumn light turns the dry earth tones of the fields into shades of ochre and rust, while a haze of heat shimmer distorts the air above the lower slopes. Thick mist rests on the distant peaks, softening the horizon line. The diagonal lines of the stone walls guide the eye upward toward the bright, hazy summit where the sky meets the mountain edge.
