Vivid Gamla Stan Facades in Golden Light

Photorealistic street scene in Stockholm's Gamla Stan: a narrow, winding cobblestone lane lined with vividly painted wooden houses in bright yellows, ochres, reds, blues, and greens. Classic 17th–18th-century Nordic architecture with timber-framed facades, stepped gables, white-trimmed windows, and window boxes overflowing with red geraniums. A vintage bicycle rests against a wall; a small cafe with outdoor tables, lanterns, and wrought-iron signs; a couple of locals strolling. Golden-hour sunlight floods the street, long shadows, and a clear Baltic sky. Perspective from street level with a wide-angle lens to emphasize height and texture, crisp wood grain and brick, subtle reflections in damp stones, evoking historic charm.
