Dreamlike Metallic Landscape at Sunset

More about Dreamlike Metallic Landscape at Sunset

A surreal landscape of metallic, flowing structures reflects the warm hues of a sunset, set against majestic mountains. Curved and elongated forms create a futuristic, dreamlike scene. Except that it is metallic this reminds me of that city in the middle of the Atlantic desert in one of Clarke's stories. The name will come back to me later. Ah, yes, featuring a city in the desert is called "The City and the Stars," where the city, named Diaspar, is a completely enclosed metropolis built in a desolate, desert-like environment on Earth, with its inhabitants living in isolation for millennia due to a past threat from an alien race, and the entire city is controlled by a central computer that manages every aspect of their lives. I think this is what was later expanded as "Against the Fall of Night."
