## Prompt

```text
Generate a {aspect_ratio} vertical, surreal night wasteland photograph with believable textures and natural exposure. {subject} stand side by side in the distance, slightly different in width with nearly parallel vertical sides and flat tops that do not taper. The left monolith is narrower and shorter, while the right one is taller, nearly reaching the top of the frame. Together they occupy about one-third of the width, centered slightly to the right. A very narrow, continuous vertical gap between them reveals the cold pre-dawn sky behind, with light originating from the distance rather than artificial sources or glows. This slit leads the eye upward from the dust below. The monoliths are made of dark gray mineral concrete with fine vertical weathering grooves, dark on the sides and polished by faint cold light on the front, conveying immense weight without ornate decoration. The upper half is a blue-black sky with tiny natural stars, transitioning into a grayish-brown thin dust fog below where the bases are hidden, punctuated by tiny needle-hole-sized warm lights. At the bottom is a desolate landscape of brown short grass and gravel, with a {character} in a dark coat standing still, occupying about one-thirtieth of the height, facing the monoliths. Overall exposure is dark but textures are discernible, low saturation, minor natural grain, no sharp edges. The mood is one of enduring loneliness, silent awe, and incomprehensible scale. No single spires, golden portals, sci-fi lasers, religious symbols, dense cities, text, logos, or watermarks.
