Mountain valley landscape framed by towering forest trees with ancient stone pathway

Digital painting rendered with precise landscape perspective, columnar conifers, stratified cumulus clouds, distant snow-capped peaks. Stone pathway transitions through meadow vegetation in foreground. Warm golden-hour lighting on vertical rock columns, cool atmospheric depth in background. Rocky outcrops flank composition symmetrically. Technical layering: foreground flora, mid-ground pastoral valley with scattered evergreen growth, background mountain ridge under clear blue sky with strategic cloud placement.
