A lone elk stands on a hilltop, its head reared and its majestic antlers crowning it as sovereign. The pine tree behind the elk is illuminated by the light of the setting sun, and the distant mountain peak’s snowy caps reflect the sunset’s vibrant hues. The bright full moon adds a sense of tranquility to the overall scene.
