Gondolas along a Venetian canal at golden hour

A photorealistic, cinematic scene of gondolas lined along a tranquil Venetian canal. The historic facades on both sides showcase Venetian Gothic and Renaissance architecture in warm pastel tones—cream, terracotta, and pale yellow—reflecting on the still water. Ornate arched windows, wrought-iron balconies, and a distant stone bridge frame the shot. The air glows with golden-hour light, lengthening the canal's reflections into shimmering ribbons. A gondolier in a striped shirt steers a gondola, while soft mist hovers above the water and distant bells echo from nearby towers. The mood is serene, romantic, and richly detailed.
