Commuters Cross Rain-Slicked Tokat Street

Sunlight ricochets off the curved metal roofs of passing buses and the glass panes of nearby storefronts, casting sharp, dancing highlights on the wet asphalt. A stream of commuters moves across the zebra stripes, their dark coats contrasting against the pale, slick pavement. To the left, a rain-darkened kiosk stands with condensation beading on its metal edges. Heavy, wet coats hang from the shoulders of the crowd, marking the turn of seasons. The flow of bodies fills the street, moving along the crosswalk lines. One reflection of a bus window glimmers on a puddle near the kiosk's base.
