Colorful Historic European Alley at Golden Hour

Photorealistic depiction of a picturesque alleyway in a historic European city. Tall narrow buildings with pastel façades in yellow, pink, blue, and terracotta flank a sunlit cobblestone lane. The late afternoon light casts a warm golden glow, long shadows, and subtle reflections on a small puddle. Wrought-iron balconies, window boxes of red geraniums and trailing vines, and decorative tiles add charm. A quaint café with a striped awning spills onto the sidewalk, wooden tables, and steaming cups. A bicycle leans against a wall; laundry or hanging plants flutter overhead. The alley recedes toward a softly glowing archway in the distance, with distant church bells and a clear blue sky above. Rich textures of stone, plaster, and moss, preserved patina, and charming details convey historic character. Cinematic, hyperreal, high detail, vibrant color grading, and balanced HDR.
