Floating Red Bus Orchard

"A sunlit urban plaza of glossy tiles reflects the sky like a shallow mirror, low cafés lining one side and a tiny grassy pocket park with a full apple tree on the other, while a vintage streetlamp leans into the foreground and oversized black vinyl records sit flush in the pavement like curious manhole covers among benches and manholes. Slightly off-center, a red double-decker floats as the focal point: its body sliced into perfectly aligned horizontal layers that hover a few inches apart, and between those slices small apple trees have sprouted, their branches cradling languid tabby cats, with a receding line of similarly sliced buses marching into the distance to create uncanny depth. The scene is rendered photorealistically with a whisper of painterly collage—crisp light, natural shadows, boosted saturation, a low three-quarter camera angle and shallow-to-moderate depth of field that keeps the central bus and cats pin-sharp—resulting in a strange but calm, mildly whimsical atmosphere, like stumbling on a quiet dream in the middle of the city."
