A colossal ancient lighthouse rising from a tiny rocky island in the middle of an endless ocean of clouds at night. The lighthouse is so tall that its base disappears far below the clouds. Its powerful beam cuts through a violent thunderstorm and unexpectedly illuminates a gigantic whale silently floating through the sky thousands of meters above the Earth. Tiny birds circle the lighthouse for scale.
