Father Shows His Son the Towers of Zion

Prompt

Psalm 48 (for the sons of Korah): "Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion... Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark you well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following." An Israelite father walks along the top of Jerusalem's massive stone city wall with his young son, pointing out across the strong towers and battlements while the boy looks up eagerly and counts on his fingers. Father and son are large and central on the wall walk. Beyond them, the city's palaces and towers rise in tiers of golden stone, glowing in the warm light of early evening under a clear sky. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
