Dawn Chill Vapor Rising from Vaccine Shipper Rack

Cool gray dawn light floods the wet season packing station in Batala, illuminating a white foam rack holding vaccine shippers near the bay doors. Thick white vapor billows upward from the cooling unit, swirling into the dim lamplight that settles in the room corners. The floor reflects the moisture from the wet season, creating a slick sheen under the industrial shelving. Leading lines of metal shelving guide the view toward the open bay doors where the sky remains a pale, pre-sunrise blue. The foam packaging sits rigid and textured, against the soft, drifting mist. A faint shadow of a worker stands motionless near the door frame, showing the disciplined stillness before the morning rush begins. at the edge is the condensation beading on the cold plastic handle of the nearest crate.
