A Pastel Cliffside Village Across the Inlet at First Light

Early morning view across a narrow sea inlet to an invented cliffside village: dozens of tightly stacked houses painted in chalky apricot, mint, mustard, rose and sky blue climb a dark rock face, joined by zigzag stone stairways and laundry-free little terraces, a few wooden boats tied up at the bottom on still green water. Soft low sun touches only the top third of the houses while the base stays in cool shadow, long lens compression at 135mm, subtle film grain, fine architectural detail with slightly irregular walls. No flags, no shop signs, no text, no logos, no people.
