Prompt:
On Mercury’s day side, an orchard of engineered sunlight — metallic trees rising from mirror-bright regolith, their branches latticed with solar fruit: concentric collector globes that pulse and flare like captured dawns. Each trunk is a column of alloyed gold and hematite, veined with molten glass conduits that channel radiance into subterranean vaults. Around them, the air ripples with heat distortion shimmer, an endless tide of brilliance that erases horizon and sky alike.
Drones in ablative plating and radiant-absorptive ceramic glide between the trunks, pruning reflectors and sealing fractures with magnetic flux welders. Their movements are disciplined, insectoid, reverent. Beneath their flight paths, vapor mirage ground blooms outward like liquid metal. From low angle, the lens captures the orchard in counter-perspective: nearest tree immense in frame, mid-tier drones at half-scale, distant rows collapsing into a vanishing glare where the sun’s limb breaches the coronal haze.
Advection fog shimmers above the field — not moisture, but ionized dust spiraling through coronal flare geometry. Each mirror-leaf refracts aureate glare, throwing lattice shadows that flicker in rhythm with the solar pulse. Heat blooms distort the geometry into living motion. Through the radiative hum comes harmonic vibration — energy resonances thrumming through collector roots into the basalt below, a music of the sun’s harvest.
At the composition’s center, one drone kneels beneath a fused canopy — a trunk whose collectors have melted into a single incandescent crown. Through its photoreceptor, the orchard becomes a cathedral of light; the harvest, an act of worship.
