How to use this prompt

The postcard tension is a warm orange sky over cool white-and-blue architecture, and the trap is letting the sunset wash the whitewashed walls orange. Ask for the buildings "in soft shadow, still white" and put the sun low behind the caldera so it backlights the domes rather than lighting the walls. Stack the houses down the cliff in layers for depth — "terraced rooftops descending to the sea" — or SDXL flattens it into one wall of buildings. Blue domes are the whole identity, so name them and cap it at two or three; the model will otherwise dome every roof. Ease off saturation or the sea and sky merge into an HDR smear.

Variations to try

Shift to blue hour just after sunset with warm window lights glowing in the cliffside houses
Reframe as a narrow whitewashed alley with pink bougainvillea and a sliver of sea at the far end
