Design a modern and minimalist cafe facade featuring a harmonious blend of weathered bricks and expansive glass windows, reflecting a sophisticated fusion of historical and contemporary architecture. Capture this essence using a high-end DSLR camera like a Canon EOS R5 with a 50mm f/1.2 lens, ensuring the image is bathed in the soft, natural light of a clear afternoon sky. This lighting accentuates the clean lines and minimalist design elements of the facade. The final image should be an ultra-realistic 16K resolution with many details, highlighting a few patrons enjoying the serene ambiance inside, while the absence of cars and pedestrians maintains a clear view of the architectural beauty. Incorporate subtle creative modifications, such as the addition of lush green vertical gardens on sections of the brickwork to enhance the organic feel, and ensure that reflections on the glass windows softly mirror the clear blue sky and nearby architecture, maintaining the core concept's integrity.
