Ambulance Flash Reflecting on Wet Oulu Street Dawn

Deep shadow covers the asphalt corner outside a pharmacy in Oulu, where the wet pavement mirrors the sharp red and white flash of an approaching ambulance. Early spring thaw leaves puddles scattered across the gray road surface, catching the rim light that edges the dark storefront. Inside the pharmacy, the cool glow of a medical monitor reflects off metal rails and counters, casting faint blue streaks onto the glass doors. The wet concrete glistens under the dim nautical dawn, creating a slick surface that distorts the emergency lights into elongated shapes. A puddle near the curb holds the inverted image of the ambulance, its colors bleeding into the dark water.
