Aquarium Acclimation Station in Restored Train Terminal

Tropical sunlight floods the high vaulted ceiling of a restored train terminal in Guasdualito, illuminating rows of clear plastic buckets lined along a long metal counter. Each bucket holds water and aquatic life, arranged in neat grids under the harsh glow of overhead fluorescent fixtures. Outside the massive arched windows, a light drizzle streaks the glass, blurring the dry season landscape beyond. The concrete floor shows signs of wear, while steel support beams run vertically, framing the operational setup. Pet care supplies sit in organized stacks nearby, their labels facing outward. The water surfaces remain perfectly still, reflecting the overhead lights in sharp, unbroken lines that end at the bucket rims.
