An illustrated coastal landscape at sunrise with a glowing cottage and distant lighthouse amid mist.

Early morning before sunrise. The sun is still below the horizon; only soft orange and warm pink light gently illuminates a fog-covered coastal landscape. In the bottom left foreground stands a small, cozy, inhabited Cotswold-style stone cottage. Its windows glow warmly from inside. Thin smoke rises from the chimney and is slowly carried sideways by a gentle breeze. Behind the cottage begins the calm sea. A dense bank of mist lies over the water. Within this mist, a subtle, forest-suggesting presence appears — not a solid island, not a defined landmass, but a denser, tree-hinting fog, barely distinguishable, forming a liminal space between foreground and background. Further back, on the left side of the image and partially softened by distance and mist, a lighthouse stands on rocky ground. It is not dominant, but quietly watchful, offering orientation. No sharp edges. No clear island outline. No buildings on the misty presence. The atmosphere is mystical, calm, and contemplative. The scene feels like a threshold rather than a destination. See more
