## Prompt

```text
A dreamy vintage travel photograph of the historic Moda pier terminal in Istanbul, centered at the end of a stone waterfront jetty, shot in a vertical composition from across calm dark water. The two-story waterfront building has pale beige stone walls, a warm terracotta tiled hip roof, tall arched windows on the ground floor, an open upper veranda with many slim columns, and a visible sign reading "{pier_sign_text}" on the upper facade. A white ferry is partially visible on the far left behind the pier, and small scattered pedestrians stand along the dock and around the building, giving scale without becoming portrait subjects. The foreground is reflective harbor water with soft ripples and a muted reflection of the building; the pier edge is lined with white railings and rough dark rocks at the base. Above, a wide overcast sky with heavy layered clouds fills nearly half the image. Use a nostalgic Instagram-filter aesthetic with faded colors, warm sepia-beige tones, slight green cast in the shadows, gentle film grain, low contrast, soft haze, subtle vignette, and a lightly weathered analog-photo feel. Architecture-focused, serene, cinematic, realistic, slightly melancholy, like a viral travel postcard of {city} on a cloudy day.
