A stone cottage with glowing windows and smoking chimneys sits on a rugged coast overlooking a misty sea with a distant lighthouse at dawn.

Early morning before sunrise. The sun is still below the horizon, only soft orange and warm pink light gently illuminating a mist-filled coastal landscape. No direct sun rays, only diffused dawn light through dense fog. In the foreground bottom left, a small, cozy inhabited Cotswold-style stone cottage stands on rugged coastal ground. Its windows glow warmly from inside. Thin smoke rises from the chimney and is softly carried sideways by a gentle breeze, adding subtle movement and life. Behind the cottage begins the calm sea, partially hidden by a thick fog bank. Within the fog, in the middle distance slightly right of center, there is a subtle, forest-like presence — not a solid island, no visible shoreline, no buildings. Only faint silhouettes of trees, like a nebula-shaped landform, barely distinguishable, dissolving into mist. It feels reachable, yet clearly separated by water and fog — a threshold, not a destination. In the background left, further away and softly obscured by fog, a lone lighthouse stands on dark rocks. It is not dominant, but quietly present, watchful, providing orientation rather than calling attention. The sea is calm, the landscape sparse and rugged. No clouds — only fog. A gentle breeze is visible only through the movement of smoke and mist. Atmosphere: mystical, contemplative, quiet, liminal. The image should feel like a threshold between night and day, not dramatic, not heroic. Soft focus, layered depth, muted contrast. Nothing sharp or See more
