Fantastic City Arrival Scene

Prompt

Create a sweeping cinematic fantasy travel scene in ultra-detailed painterly realism: a lone horse-drawn carriage, viewed from behind, carries exactly 2 seated travelers down a straight pale dirt road toward a vast walled capital city. The road forms a strong central vanishing point and is bordered by exactly 2 rustic wooden fence lines running through open green meadows dotted with wildflowers, rocks, and small trees. In the distance, show a majestic medieval magical city with a continuous stone wall, dense rooftops, many narrow spires, and a grand central cathedral-like castle crowned by tall black-blue Gothic towers; include arched bridges crossing calm waterways on both the left and right sides of the city. The sun is low near the left horizon at {argument name="time of day" default="golden-hour sunset"}, casting warm amber light, long shadows, and glowing highlights across the fields, while the sky is broad and blue with scattered small clouds and faint birds. Surround the city with rolling hills and distant mountains, giving an epic sense of arrival after a journey. Use a {argument name="visual style" default="high-fantasy cinematic concept art"} look, panoramic 16:9 composition, rich atmospheric perspective, intricate architecture, soft volumetric light, natural colors, highly detailed but romantic and serene, no text, no modern objects.
