## Prompt

```text
Using REFERENCE_0 as the base image, transform the scene from daytime into {time_of_day} while preserving the same camera angle, framing, street layout, canal, buildings, bicycle, boats, tram, and overall realistic photographic detail. Replace the bright blue daytime sky with a deep dark blue night sky with faint stars and subtle clouds. Add warm artificial illumination: glowing streetlamps, lit café and apartment windows, the tram interior lights and headlight, and soft golden reflections shimmering across the canal water. Darken the façades, pavement, trees, and canal naturally, keeping enough detail visible, with cinematic high dynamic range lighting and a clean realistic lens look. Do not change the composition or add/remove major objects.
```
