## Prompt

```text
Transform the uploaded photo into a minimalist hand-painted watercolor travel illustration. Preserve the original skyline, buildings, bridge, river, reflections, cloud shapes, perspective, and overall composition so the location remains clearly recognizable. Simplify the architecture into elegant fine ink lines and soft watercolor washes, using the same muted blue, lavender, peach, gray, and warm sunset tones from the original photo. Keep the artwork slightly imperfect and naturally textured, like a handmade {art_style}. Place the finished illustration as a small centered artwork on a warm ivory/off-white textured paper background with generous clean negative space around it. Add a tiny elegant handwritten-style caption below the illustration with the location name from the photo. Minimal, refined, peaceful, premium travel-journal aesthetic. No frame, no border, no extra objects, no photorealistic finish, no clutter.
```

## Variables
