Dark Thunderstorm Approaching the Castle | Quiet Pathway in Night | Calm Before the Storm

🌩️ The Story I Want to Tell
A lonely stone pathway leads toward an ancient castle hidden under a dark, moonless sky. Gentle thunder rolls softly in the distance, echoing through the cold night air. The forest on both sides sways lightly in the wind, and the dim glow from the castle windows gives a sense of safety and nostalgia. This quiet moment before the storm invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and drift into a peaceful sleep

Thunder ambience was recorded via DJI Mini aerial recordings and later mixed to fit the mood of the visual sequence.
