Golden Hour in a European Alleyway

A vibrant street scene in a narrow European alley during golden hour. A warm-toned apartment building painted in ochre and terracotta, with pastel green shutters and wrought-iron balconies overflowing with cascading flowers. The narrow cobblestone street winds between facades, bathed in warm sunlight that creates long shadows and a gentle lens flare. Lanterns along the wall, hanging laundry, and potted geraniums add color and life. A bicycle with a basket leans against the wall; a small café table with a red-and-white striped umbrella sits outside a doorway, a chalkboard sign nearby. Background buildings in soft pastels and tiled rooftops peek under a clear blue sky. People stroll by, a cat lounges on a step, and the whole scene hums with vibrant, cozy European charm. Photorealistic with a touch of painterly glow, shot at eye level with a 50mm lens to emphasize texture: stucco, stone, moss, and ceramic tiles.
