Pre-Dawn Futuristic Meadow

Create a cinematic, photorealistic landscape titled {argument name="scene title" default="Before Dawn"}: a quiet pre-dawn meadow overlooking a distant futuristic city skyline. Use a vertical 4:5 composition from a low eye-level viewpoint. In the foreground, show damp wild grass, small wildflowers, scattered dark rocks, and a still shallow pond occupying the lower middle of the frame, reflecting the pink-lavender sky and faint silhouettes of distant towers. On the left midground, place exactly one tall, narrow metal observation or communications tower standing alone on a low grassy hill, with thin lattice supports, a small platform, antenna details, and a subtle warm light near the top. Across the far horizon, show one hazy futuristic metropolis with many slender skyscrapers and spires; make the tallest needle-like tower slightly right of center, glowing faintly through morning mist. The atmosphere should feel silent, expansive, and melancholic, with soft fog layers over the plains and city lights barely visible. The sky should fill the upper half with layered clouds in muted blue-gray, mauve, peach, and rose, suggesting the moment just before sunrise. Use naturalistic lighting, gentle volumetric haze, realistic reflections in the pond, high detail in the grasses and rocks, subdued pastel color grading, no people, no animals, no vehicles, no text, no logo, no watermark.
