Charcoal Kiln Smoking Under Night Sky Near Oujda

Thick gray smoke rises from the circular brick opening of a traditional charcoal kiln, drifting into the deep black of an early winter night. The structure stands on a rough factory floor near Oujda, illuminated by the sudden orange flare of a welding torch held by a worker in the foreground. Long shadows stretch across the wet ground where recent rain leaves a slick, reflective sheen under the dim sodium-vapor light. The kiln's curved brickwork glows faintly from internal heat, against the cool blue tones of the humid air. Dust particles hang suspended in the welding light, while the worker's silhouette remains sharp against the bright arc. One ember glows red on the damp pavement near the kiln's base.
