Dawn Sanitation Crew Cleans Taichung Market Street

Mist rests on the wet asphalt as two sanitation workers in high-visibility vests direct powerful water streams across the pavement. The street stretches toward a building entrance marked by official signage, framed by the converging lines of the curb and wet ground. Early summer light falls through low-hanging clouds, casting a soft, diffused glow over the scene. Water droplets spray into the air, catching the pale morning light. The workers move with deliberate rhythm, their boots splashing in the runoff. Reflections of the gray sky shimmer on the slick surface, leading toward the institutional entrance where the cleaning operation concludes.
