## Prompt

```text
A dark, apocalyptic city street at night, viewed from ground level looking upward through a narrow canyon of ruined tall buildings on both sides. The architecture is heavily damaged and partially collapsed, with jagged silhouettes, broken facades, and blackened gothic-industrial details fading into shadow. A dense column of smoke and stormy cloud fills the center of the sky, backlit by a cold pale glow near the horizon, creating a dramatic high-contrast focal point. The overall palette is nearly monochrome deep navy, charcoal, black, and muted steel blue, with scattered tiny orange ember-like specks drifting through the air across the whole scene. The mood is bleak, ominous, and cinematic, like a post-disaster wasteland or bombed urban ruin. Painterly digital concept art, soft atmospheric haze, heavy texture, subtle film-grain feel, no people, no vehicles, no readable signs, wide composition, high detail in the ruined structures, strong vertical framing from the buildings, and a foreboding smoky sky dominating the upper half.
```
