How this campsite was made

Image model microsoft/mai-image-2.6

From a little way up the hillside behind camp, an ordinary downward view takes in a disused ski jump and the tents at the bottom of its landing slope. The weathered timber takeoff tower, with a small enclosed hut built into it, stands prominently above the run. Old crusted snow lies between patches of thawing grass and wildflower stalks, with slushy tracks leading to a worn canvas hot tent and its stovepipe below. A pair of trekking poles rests against a tree. Soft morning light falls unevenly across the slope, under a pale, lightly clouded sky.

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