Autumn Trees in Puddle Reflection Predawn Terminal

Soft tungsten lamplight pools across the dark, polished floor of the restored train terminal near Cúcuta, illuminating a shallow rain puddle. Within the water, fractured reflections of autumn trees appear as streaks of burnt orange and rust against the deep black of the predawn darkness. The diagonal lines of the puddle's edge cut sharply across the frame, showing tension against the otherwise still interior. Nearby stone walls absorb the warm glow, their rough texture visible in the low light. one drop of water rests on the rim of the puddle, distorting the reflected foliage into a swirling, liquid pattern of gold and brown.
