Golden Hour Over Galata Tower and Istanbul Skyline

Hyper-realistic cinematic view from the Istanbul waterfront, looking across the calm Bosphorus toward the Galata Tower and the sprawling city skyline. In the foreground, gentle water ripples reflect warm sunset light; a few seagulls skim the surface and distant ferries create soft wakes. The midground features the iconic Galata Tower with its stonework and conical roof, flanked by slender minarets, red rooftops, and historic and modern buildings along the shore. The background reveals domes and minarets rising above the horizon, with a few contemporary towers blending into the skyline. The sky is a painterly gradient of amber, peach, and lavender, with wispy clouds catching the sun. Lighting is golden hour, casting long shadows and gilded edges on stone and glass; the water glows with reflected light. Compose with the rule of thirds, Galata Tower slightly off center to the left. High detail, ultra high resolution 8K, shallow depth of field for city lights bokeh, cinematic lens flare optional. Mood is serene and romantic; clear weather with a few clouds.
