Drained Civic Fountain Evening Ahvaz

Low sun casts long, sharp shadows across a drained stone fountain basin in an Ahvaz civic plaza. The dry concrete floor holds scattered wax stubs and temporary barricade barriers near the entrance of a polling station. Late autumn clouds gather overhead in dramatic grays and muted oranges, reflecting faintly on the damp patches of the stone. The scene is framed from behind the fountain, looking toward the building's facade where shadows stretch across the pavement. A small, unlit candle rests on the rough edge of the basin, its wick visible against the cool gray stone. The texture of the concrete contrasts with the smooth, dark wax of the melted candles.
