Damp Course Packets Crate on Lahti Walkway

Blue-grey twilight light reflects off the rain-slicked asphalt of a schoolyard walkway in Lahti. A corrugated cardboard crate, darkened by moisture, rests on the wet path. White course packets inside the crate show swollen fibers where rainwater has soaked the cardboard edges. Deep grooves in the crate bottom hold pooled water, mirroring the dim sky above. Layers of the walkway recede into the distance, where faint outlines of campus buildings emerge through the mist. The damp pavement stretches forward alongside the crate, fading toward the quiet, institutional architecture in the evening haze. Water beads coat the rough cardboard texture at the edge of the frame.
