Banh Mi with Cilantro Sunset Light District 4

Rich amber light from a dropping sun washes over a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich piled high with fresh cilantro. The crusty baguette rests on a rustic wooden table, its surface grain visible in the warm glow. Thick slices of meat and pickled vegetables peek from the abundant green herbs that spill over the edges. Quiet shadows stretch along the nearby walls of the District 4 interior, marking the turn of the season. The tight framing isolates the texture of the bread and the vibrant, dewy leaves against the dark wood. One sprig of cilantro rests against the crust near the bottom edge.
