Raven Over the Forgotten Carousel

"An abandoned meadow at dusk holds a half-buried vintage carousel, tall grass and low rolling fog swallowing its platform; in a low, wide-angle foreground a single worn carousel horse sits off-center left, its paint chipped and pole missing, while a large raven perches on the mane with a small brass compass tied to its leg. A diagonal procession of antique street lamps floats above the grass and recedes into the mist toward the horizon, each lamp cradling a tiny sleeping human silhouette curled like a shadow and lit softly from within, and an overgrown ticket booth sits half-swallowed by wild grass in the midground right, rim light from the lamps cutting faint lines through the haze. Rendered in painterly surreal realism with cinematic composition and textured brushwork, muted desaturated tones warmed by the lamps’ glows, the scene feels eerie and melancholic with a subtle macabre edge and a strange, sorrowful wonder."
