Copper Kettle Market Stall Cabinda Evening

Copper kettles gleam in deep shadow beneath tarps, their curved surfaces reflecting the soft gold rim light of early evening. The stall sits beside a fish counter, where rows of silver scales catch the fading daylight. Above, the sky splits unnaturally: one side glows with the last hours of day, the other bursts with a dense field of stars. Spice dust hangs suspended in the air, glowing faintly against the dark metal. The kettles sit on rough wooden crates, their handles casting sharp, elongated shadows across the stall floor. Each reflection shows a passerby as a distorted, shimmering silhouette, frozen in the moment between day and night.
