Clouds Reflected in Chrome Sphere Terminal

Late afternoon light pours through a tall north-facing window, illuminating a polished chrome sphere resting on a stone floor. The sphere distorts the white cumulus clouds visible in the reflection, stretching them into curved bands of grey and silver. The surrounding space is a restored train terminal in Agra, featuring high vaulted ceilings and weathered brick walls that fade into deep, quiet shadows. The midsummer sun casts long, soft shadows along the base of the arches. The smooth, cold surface of the metal contrasts with the rough texture of the aged masonry. A sharp edge of light runs along the bottom curve of the sphere where it meets the dusty floor.
