A striking desert landscape features a large orange sun low on the horizon, casting long shadows across rippling sand dunes. A mystical blue portal is buried deep in the golden sand with only its upper curved edge visible above the surface, glowing with ethereal blue energy that creates a cool color accent against the warm desert palette. The portal appears ancient and partially consumed by the shifting dunes. The sun's intense light creates stark contrast between the bright, sunlit sides of the dunes and their dark shadows, which stretch across the foreground. The sky transitions from deep blue at the top to warm orange near the horizon, with no clouds present. The sand has a rich golden color where it catches the sunlight. Landscape photography with dramatic side lighting and sharp focus from foreground to horizon.
