Brass Coach Lantern on Temple Wall Dusk

Warm amber light spills from a brass coach lantern mounted on the rough stucco wall of a temple courtyard. Fine rain streaks through the air, catching the glow of overhead string lights that drape across the darkening sky. The brass surface gleets with a wet sheen, reflecting the soft, diffused illumination. Droplets rest on the metal's curved edges and the glass panels of the lantern. Behind the fixture, the textured wall shows signs of weathering in the turn of seasons. The string lights create a soft bokeh in the background, against the sharp, cool tones of the falling rain. One droplet slides down the lantern's side, tracing a path through the dust and grime accumulated on the metal frame.
