Drained Fountain Plaza Candles Night Havana Polling

Cold moonlight spills across the exposed concrete basin of a civic plaza fountain, now stripped of water to accommodate barricades and scattered candle stubs. The deep, dry basin contrasts with the wet, dark pavement of the surrounding gymnasium floor. In the foreground, thick broadcast cables snake across paper notices, creating a chaotic web of gray and white against the blue-gray stone. The low angle emphasizes the hollowed-out circle, while shadows from the surrounding bleachers stretch long and sharp across the scene. One flickering flame from a short wax candle casts a tiny, trembling pool of warm orange light on the rough, damp concrete edge, standing out against the overwhelming coolness of the night.
