The exact same empty two-lane desert highway as in the first reference image, same joshua trees and road sign, same camera position — but at sunrise: soft pink and gold dawn light, long shadows, a pale pink and blue sky, no city glow on the horizon. Parked on the gravel shoulder at the right is the teal retro-futuristic coupe from the second reference image, with its front hood open. Photoreal cinematic 35mm film still, film grain, empty of people.
