Pastel European Alley: Rustic Charm and Sunshine

Photorealistic scene of a picturesque European alley lined with pastel-colored buildings in soft pinks, mint greens, pale blues, and warm creams. Golden-hour sunlight bathes the street, casting long, warm shadows on the cobblestones. Rustic charm: chipped paint, flower boxes overflowing with geraniums and lavender, wrought-iron balconies, window shutters, and hanging lanterns. A small cafe with a striped awning and outdoor tables sits to one side, while a vintage bicycle leans against a pastel wall. Ivy and vines cling to plaster; distant stone archway at the alley's end. The air feels serene and inviting. Eye-level perspective with a slight downward tilt and a wide-angle composition to emphasize depth and leading lines. Textures are highly detailed: rough stucco, damp glints on stones, weathered wood, glass reflections; mood: cozy, timeless, picturesque.
