Amber Light Refracts Through Glass Sphere on Sand

Rich amber sunset light floods the high vaulted ceiling of the restored Tébessa train terminal, casting long, warm interior shadows across the floor. A clear glass sphere rests directly on a patch of coarse sand, acting as a prism for the descending sun. The light bends through the glass, projecting a sharp, geometric pattern of bright highlights and deep amber gradients onto the dusty surface. Diagonal beams of light cut across the frame, showing graphic tension against the static architecture. The texture of the sand contrasts with the smooth, hard curve of the sphere, while the warm glow defines the edges of the refracted shapes. A distinct, elongated shadow from the glass falls across the granular ground.
