Sakura-Arched Istanbul Street with Classic Taxis

Frame this vibrant Istanbul moment with blooming sakura trees arching over a narrow street in Türkiye. Soft pink and white blossoms form a natural canopy as classic yellow taxis with vintage Mercedes styling line the cobblestone road, chrome reflections catching the golden hour light. Colorful Ottoman-era facades with wrought-iron balconies and hanging flower pots glow along the street, while petals drift through the air. In the distance, slender minarets and domes punctuate the skyline, with a silhouette of the Galata Tower or Hagia Sophia hinting at the city’s East-meets-West charm. The scene should feel cinematic and painterly yet photorealistic: saturated colors, warm light, wet-stone reflections, lush depth, and a lively spring atmosphere that captures Istanbul, Türkiye’s unique urban poetry.
