Hearst Castle

Majestic Hearst Castle perched atop a hill in San Simeon, California, at golden hour. Ornate Spanish Revival architecture with soaring towers, intricate arches, and elaborate facades. Gleaming white limestone walls contrast against terracotta roof tiles. Lush Mediterranean gardens surround the estate, featuring vibrant flowers, sculpted hedges, and towering palm trees. Neptune Pool in the foreground, its azure waters reflecting the warm sunset light. Ornate marble statues and columns line the pool's edge. Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean in the background, with rolling coastal hills. Soft, diffused light casts long shadows across the grounds, highlighting the castle's intricate details. Wispy clouds painted in shades of pink and gold streak across the sky. A sense of opulence and grandeur permeates the scene, evoking the glamour of 1920s Hollywood.
