Neo-Noir Blue Hour City Overlook with Art Deco Tower

A cinematic high-angle 'God's eye' view of a dense North American city canyon at blue hour, anchored by a massive Art Deco skyscraper on the left third. Thick fog, drizzle and smog soften the skyline while cool diffused daylight contrasts with warm tungsten window glow and wet asphalt reflections. The look is desaturated teal-and-charcoal with film grain, chromatic aberration and vignetting.
