Quiet Kyoto Wooden Street at Sunset

A tranquil, sunlit street in Kyoto's historic district at sunset; traditional wooden machiya houses line a narrow, stone-paved lane. Dark timber frames, white plaster walls, latticework, sliding shoji panels, and weathered wooden signboards form the facades; warm amber light pools on the surfaces. Delicately swaying noren curtains at doorways, small paper lanterns glowing softly, and carved eaves. The street is almost empty to convey quiet. In the distance, a silhouette of a temple roof and pagoda against a gradient sky of orange, pink, and lavender. Maples with red leaves frame the street, petals drifting in a gentle breeze. Subtle rain-washed stones; shallow depth of field with crisp foreground and softly blurred background. Photorealistic, highly detailed, cinematic lighting, warm earthy tones.
