How this campsite was made

Image model microsoft/mai-image-2.6

A close, slightly off-centre view of a car’s side mirror, with the reflection filled by a camp inside the towering oak frame of an unfinished forty-metre ship on a shingle beach. Three worn canvas tents stand on level planks between curved ribs braced upright, with grey sea visible through every gap. A few scattered playing cards and two dented empty cans sit beside the tents. The campground is nearly empty; cool shoulder-season air, damp stones, low cloud and gentle mist soften the daylight. The mirror has slight everyday distortion and an uneven, faintly greenish cast.

Looks like a real photo, realistic detail, nothing overlaid on it. No readable writing anywhere: plain unlabelled gear, no slogans, no number plates.
