Balcony at Evening Light in in Beirut, Lebanon

Balcony at Evening Light

by Derrick Benitez

A medium shot shows a narrow balcony in the Gemmayze district, where peeling turquoise paint flakes from a concrete railing, revealing layers of older white plaster beneath the heat haze of a Beirut summer evening. Below, the street hums with the amber glow of sodium vapor lamps reflecting off a parked motorcycle’s chrome mirrors. A small, rusted table fan sits on a wrought-iron chair, its blades still, while a crumpled linen handkerchief rests nearby on a stack of old magazines. In the background, the silhouettes of high-rise apartments pierce the deepening indigo sky, their windows flickering with the cool blue light of televisions, against the warm, dusty air that hangs heavy over the city’s intricate urban fabric.
