Bandeja Paisa Plate with Beans and Plantain

Cool blue hour twilight fills the indoor tea house, casting soft reflections across a wooden tray. A ceramic plate holds the Bandeja Paisa, centered in a shallow depth of field. Dark red beans pile beside golden fried plantain slices and a mound of white rice. A fried egg rests on the rice, its yolk bright against the dimming light. Condensation beads on a glass nearby, catching the blue glow from the wet season evening. The wooden grain of the tray runs beneath the plate, showing wear from use. Soft reflections stretch along the edge of the tray where the light hits the wet surface.
