Graphic Design Brief

I filmed my journey from Washington to NYC. And I've made a YouTube video of that walk. Now I want to create a thumbnail to go along with the video. I am uploading an idea I plugged in Nano Banana for an AI rendering. It's good, I like it - but not exactly what I want.
** The thumbnail should not be dark or sinister. I'm seeing a few designs that suggest it was post apocalyptic. It wasn't. It was a great and enjoyable time. But I definitely do want to show the storm over New York city. **

I want to include element of the walk. Easily recognizable monuments and buildings from both cities. An Amish horse drawn buggy from when I walked through Amish country. Though I'd like that de emphasized. It's a little too prominent in the picture I'm uploading.
On the last day in NYC there was an epic flood. Torrential rain and wind. I want to capture that on the thumbnail. The video opens: "everything went perfectly until the last day when it became biblical..."

I’m not conveying my wishes for a design very well. I’ll try again. The picture I initially uploaded is fantastic. It’s what I want. But I cannot communicate with AI so I want to hire a professional (you) to tweak it. I want iconic buildings and monuments of Washington DC and NYC. Over NYC should be dorm clouds and rain. But not post apocalyptic. Just a storm rolling in. Integrated into this thumbnail should be an Amish buggy pulled by a horse. I really like the pic I uploaded. But we need to remove one of the duplicate pictures of the Lincoln memorial. It’s on there twice. Good luck!
