How to use this prompt

Steam is invisible until it has light behind it, which is why the prompt places "a shaft of warm light from a small high window" exactly where the steam rises — backlighting is the whole trick. Without it the löyly renders as a faint grey smudge. The cedar must be named and must be "beading with water" so the room reads as hot and humid rather than a dry wooden box. Keep the ladle wooden and the stones dark and rough; polished river stones look decorative, not functional. A vertical 2:3 frame lets the steam column travel, which is the motion the image is about.

Variations to try

Evening sauna — cooler blue window light against the warm interior
Bucket and bench — wider view showing the water bucket and lower bench
