An ancient temple complex swallowed by jungle, only the spires piercing through the mist

被丛林吞没的古庙群,只剩塔尖刺出雾海

Second piece in the ruins series, this time pulled back to an aerial view. The whole temple complex is almost entirely swallowed by the rainforest canopy, with only the tallest spire poking through the mist and trees. That sense of forgotten, isolated abandonment is exactly what I was going for.

Cleaned up the prompt to really sell the scale and the mist:

Aerial drone shot of a vast temple complex almost entirely consumed by encroaching jungle canopy, only the highest spires piercing through drifting mist and treetops, sense of isolation and slow decay, moody overcast lighting, epic scale, layered fog between hills, concept art style, atmospheric perspective, richly detailed foliage

For something more desolate, push the sky greyer and skip the sunlight.

The spire piercing through the sea of mist gives it so much story.

How do you keep the canopy density from looking mushy?

Saving this.

Probably the same series as the stone-steps one, that forgotten feeling ties them together.
