Shadows Under Ottoman Arches in Istanbul

A woman walks beneath decorative Ottoman arches at a historic site in Istanbul, Türkiye, her silhouette elongated by the late afternoon sun to cast long shadows across the carved stone. The scene is bathed in warm golden-hour light, highlighting intricate reliefs, geometric patterns, and blue Iznik tiles along the arches. A cobblestone path glitters with reflections as distant domes and minarets punctuate the skyline. She wears a flowing dress that moves with her steps, a scarf fluttering slightly, adding a sense of motion. The atmosphere feels tranquil and timeless, with shallow depth of field keeping the arches in sharp focus while softly blurring the background. Cinematic, hyper-realistic style with rich textures, sunlit dust motes, and a color palette of warm ambers, deep blues, and stone grays.
