Golden Larch Valley Aerial

Wide establishing shot from a high vantage point looking down a mountain valley on a clear autumn day. Golden larches cover the lower slopes in drifts of yellow-gold, dark spruce fills the gullies, and distant ridges stand in slate-blue haze. A narrow river runs along the valley floor as a thin silver line. Sunlight breaks between scattered white clouds, and their soft shadows crawl slowly across the slopes, so patches of lit gold travel between patches of shade. The camera stays still, everything in focus from the foreground to the far ridge. No people, no buildings, no text, no logos, no watermark.
