Batumi Observatory Dome at Dusk

Rain-slicked tiles reflect the soft violet of twilight sky above a university roofline in Batumi. A white metal observatory dome dominates the frame, its hemispherical surface gleaming with moisture. Interior lights glow warmly through a narrow slit, casting a sharp yellow rectangle against the cooling blue of the evening. Water droplets rest on the dark metal seams and the curved edge of the dome, catching the fading ambient light. The surrounding campus courtyard appears as a blurred expanse of wet stone and dark green foliage. Steam rises faintly from the warm interior, blending with the cool drizzle hanging in the air. The structure stands solid and quiet against the darkening sky.
