Drained Plaza Fountain Barricades Puerto Barrios

Bright late-afternoon sun illuminates the dry basin of a civic fountain in a Puerto Barrios public square. Concrete walls, stripped of water, now hold rows of makeshift barricades constructed from stacked crates and wooden planks. Short, stubbed candles in various states of wax sit scattered across the dusty floor among the barriers. The hard light casts sharp, dark shadows beneath the wooden structures, showing the rough texture of the timber against the smooth, weathered stone. A clear sky stretches overhead, framing the determined arrangement of supplies ready for use. Small cracks in the basin floor reveal patches of dry earth where the water once stood.
