Cyclist splashing through puddle in Delhi alley at sunset in along a market-lined side street in Paharganj, Delhi

Cyclist splashing through puddle in Delhi alley at sunset

by Deanna Fernandez

Heat shimmer distorts the air above the cracked concrete of a narrow back alley in Paharganj. A delivery cyclist leans into a turn, tires churning a shallow puddle that sends a fan of muddy water flying. The setting sun casts a low, golden glow that wraps around the corrugated metal shutters of market stalls lining the street. Dust hangs suspended in the warm light, catching the orange and pink hues of the horizon. The cyclist wears a bright yellow vest, a stark contrast against the weathered brick and peeling paint of the buildings. Water droplets hang in mid-air, frozen by the moment of impact, while the shadow of the rider stretches long across the wet ground. One splash of water catches the light, revealing the texture of the debris floating in the alley.
