Alsace Timber-Framed Houses Reflected in Water

A sunny day in Alsace with a picturesque row of traditional half-timbered houses along a calm canal. The dark wooden timber frames form intricate patterns against white plaster, with warm yellow, cream, and pastel façades. Window boxes overflow with red geraniums and blue violas. Steep roofs with dormers, decorative timbers, and quaint details catch the sunlight. The glassy water creates near-perfect reflections of the houses and blue sky, with gentle ripples distorting the image just enough. A stone pedestrian bridge spans the canal in the distance; cobblestone quaysides, a small moored boat, and a narrow path run beside the water. The scene is bright, colorful, tranquil, and inviting, rendered in high detail in a painterly, semi-realistic style with cinematic lighting.
