An awe-inspiring, photorealistic aerial view of an extraordinarily grand castle, majestically perched on a towering, mist-shrouded mountain. The castle features towering spires piercing the clouds, intricate stone carvings, and majestic archways adorned with shimmering gold accents. A grand, ancient stone bridge connects the castle to nearby cliffs, surrounded by cascading waterfalls that flow into a glistening moat. The castle is encircled by lush, vibrant gardens filled with exotic flowers, ancient trees, and winding pathways. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, creating long shadows and a magical, ethereal atmosphere. The entire scene exudes a sense of awe, opulence, and timeless grandeur. Captured with a Canon EOS R5 and a Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens at 16mm focal length, F/8 aperture, and ISO 100 for maximum detail and sharpness.  --s 750
