Moonlit Pier with Shoebox Houses and Sleeping Gulls

Deep shadows swallow the wooden pier while a sharp rim light carves the edges of sleeping gulls perched along the railing. Tiny shoebox-sized buildings line the immediate frame edges, their miniature windows glowing faintly against the night. Lanterns dot the distant harbor in Minas Gerais, creating a scattered rhythm of warm light. The water reflects the cold, dry air under a starfield that stretches into infinite distance. Weathered wood grain runs horizontally beneath the birds, against the smooth, impossible facades of the small structures. One gull feather rests on the wet plank, catching the moon's pale reflection.
