Zodiacal Light Pyramid Over Sri Lankan Harbor Night

A faint, pale pyramid of zodiacal light rises vertically against the deep indigo of the post-sunset sky, hovering above a wet harbor. Below, the water reflects scattered lanterns that dot the shoreline, their warm orange glow against the cool twilight. Ground fog pools in the low spaces between wooden pilings and stone edges, softening the transition from water to land. The harbor structures appear as dark, sharp silhouettes against the fading horizon, their details obscured by the backlighting. The light pyramid maintains a crisp, geometric edge as it fades into the upper darkness, standing distinct from the organic shapes of the mist and water. Small ripples on the surface catch the last ambient light, creating a shimmering path that leads toward the luminous column.
