Blue Whale Shadow Over Autumn Bonfire Ceremony in at a night market near Chongqing

Blue Whale Shadow Over Autumn Bonfire Ceremony

by Marissa Workman

Copper-toned light washes the cliffside night market near Chongqing, highlighting stacks of dried persimmons and woven bamboo baskets arranged in perfect symmetry. A bonfire burns steadily at the center, sending orange sparks upward into the clear sky. Above the flames, a massive blue whale swims through the air, its translucent skin glowing faintly against the twilight. The whale casts a dark, elongated shadow that falls directly across the fire and the gathered crowd, distorting the shapes of the people below. Dried autumn leaves scatter on the stone steps, their edges sharp against the warm glow. The horizon light wraps the distant mountains in soft violet, against the deep blue of the impossible creature.
