Chimney Sweep in Sahiwal Evening Mist

Thick mist rests on the public square in Sahiwal, softening the edges of brick buildings and distant streetlights. A chimney sweep stands in the foreground, his face and hands coated in thick soot that contrasts with the honeyed glow of the setting sun. The low light casts long, sharp shadows across the dusty ground, highlighting the texture of his worn clothing and the bristles of the brush he holds. Early spring air hangs heavy, blurring the background figures into indistinct shapes. The rough fabric of his coat catches the warm light, while the blackened skin on his cheeks reflects the dimming day. Behind him, the mist obscures the far end of the square, leaving only the silhouette of a minaret visible against the fading sky. The brush rests against his hip, its worn handle showing years of use.
