Golden Hour on a Warm European Alleyway

Vibrant European alley at golden hour: a narrow street lined by a warm-toned apartment building with terracotta and apricot plaster, green shutters, and wrought-iron balconies overflowing with cascading flowers. The cobblestone pavement reflects the warm light, colorful laundry hangs between doors, and potted plants adorn window sills. A small café with round metal tables sits in the shade, a vintage bicycle leaning against a doorway, pigeons fluttering nearby, and distant arches adding depth. Sunbeams slice through the alley, casting long shadows and enriching the textures of cracked plaster, weathered bricks, and mossy stones. Lively, cozy, and charming, rendered in a photorealistic yet slightly painterly style with vivid colors and soft background bokeh.
