Cairo Observatory Telescope Pier Sunrise
by Becky Cox
Pale morning light diffuses through a soft overcast sky, casting even illumination across a solitary concrete telescope pier. The structure stands firmly in a high desert yard beside the curved white base of an observatory dome. Fine grains of sand scatter across the rough, gray concrete surface, caught in the motion of a brisk wind that whips dust into a hazy swirl. Cool season air settles over the scene, evident in the crisp, unblown clarity of the distant horizon. The pier’s vertical lines contrast with the gentle curve of the dome wall. A small metal bracket near the base holds a weathered plaque, its surface worn smooth by years of exposure. The wind stirs the loose gravel at the pier's feet, creating a subtle ripple in the sand.
