Cyclist Reflection in Duzce Alley Puddle Dawn

Steam rises in thin white plumes from iron grates along a wet market street in Düzce, drifting into the deep shadows of the early morning. A cyclist blurs past the rough brick wall covered in a vibrant, weathered mural, their motion captured as a streak of light against the dark facade. The puddle in the foreground mirrors the scene, distorting the rider and the colorful paint into a liquid mosaic. Rim light catches the wet asphalt and the edges of the steam, creating sharp highlights that separate the dark alley from the faint glow of the rising sun. The reflection shows the mural's peeling layers and the cyclist's silhouette, while the steam continues to curl upward, obscuring the background stalls slightly.
