Ceramic Dragon Roof Tile on Temple Restoration Scaffolding

Soft overcast light washes the open ground near Diocletian's Palace in Split, illuminating a vibrant ceramic dragon roof tile resting on a metal restoration scaffold. The dragon's scales gleam with glazed turquoise and amber hues against the matte grey steel beams. A towering crane looms in the background beneath a perfectly clear sky, its structure casting faint, diffuse shadows across the construction site. Early summer grasses peek through the gravel at the scaffold's base, adding a touch of green to the industrial grit. The tile curves upward, its intricate tail curling toward the sky, while rust spots mark the lower joints of the metal framework. Dust settles lightly on the lower horizontal bars, hinting at recent activity.
