Narrow Rothenburg Alley: Cobblestone & Timbered Facades

An ultra-realistic, cinematic scene of a narrow alley in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. The cobblestone path winds between tall, centuries-old houses built in traditional Fachwerk (timber-framed) style: white plaster walls with dark wooden beams, decorative carvings, small wooden balconies, and window boxes bursting with red geraniums. Soft golden-hour sunlight filters through the narrow gap above, casting warm amber light on the textured stone walls, moss in the cracks, and the irregular cobbles. Wrought-iron lanterns glow faintly; arched doors and quaint shop fronts line the lane. At the far end, a glimpse of the medieval town wall and a church steeple rise against a pastel-blue sky. A light mist adds atmosphere and depth. Ultra-detailed, photorealistic, 8K-ready, with shallow depth of field: foreground cobbles in sharp focus, background gradually blurred. The composition emphasizes perspective lines and a sense of stepping back in time.
