Volcanic Sunset Over Kathmandu Mist

Layers of burning orange and deep amber streak across the sky above the Kathmandu valley. Low-angle sunlight cuts through thick, rolling mist that rests on the valley floor, softening the outlines of distant hills. The light catches the tops of scattered pine trees, turning their dark green needles into sharp, glowing silhouettes against the bright horizon. Wooden rooftops of traditional houses peek through the fog, their terracotta tiles reflecting the warm glow. Shadows stretch long and cool across the damp earth, creating a stark contrast with the fiery sky above. A faint band of violet separates the orange clouds from the darkening mountain ridges in the background.
