A large estate with multiple historic buildings is surrounded by dense trees. The sky is overcast, with hints of a sunset or sunrise in the distance. The landscape includes a well-maintained lawn and paved pathways. The scene has an atmospheric and serene quality, with minimal artificial lighting visible from the buildings and along the pathways.
