Narrow Parikia Street: Flowers and Cycladic Charm

A picturesque narrow street in Parikia, Paros, Greece: whitewashed Cycladic houses with blue shutters and doors line a sunlit cobblestone alley. Vibrant flowers spill from window boxes and terracotta pots—pink geraniums, purple bougainvillea, and orange marigolds—their colors glowing in warm Mediterranean light. The road winds toward a glimpse of the turquoise Aegean Sea with a distant blue-domed church and distant hills. Details include stone steps, wrought-iron balconies, striped awnings, a bicycle leaning against a wall, and laundry hanging between houses. Style is photorealistic with rich textures and colors, sunlight creating soft shadows, and a shallow depth of field in the foreground fading into a crisp mid-ground and atmospheric background.
