Commuters Check Phones Under Rain Awning

Bright midmorning light reflects off wet shopfront glass near a rain-darkened kiosk in Kulim. Several commuters stand beneath a street corner awning, heads bowed as they check their phones. The cool season air leaves the pavement slick with water, and heavy overcast skies diffuse the sunlight into a soft, even glow. Their clothing suggests a light layer suitable for the damp weather. The awning's metal frame casts a sharp geometric shadow across the wet ground. A reflection of a passing vehicle streaks across the glass of the kiosk behind them. The phone screens glow with cool blue tones against the grey surroundings.
