Ferry Crossing Strait at Dawn Holguin

Low sunlight breaks through the horizon haze, illuminating the wet asphalt of a switchback road that curves sharply along the Holguin coastline. A ferry moves across the narrow strait below, its white hull stark against the dark, rippling water. The sky holds a soft, pearlescent glow where storm clouds are clearing, casting long, muted shadows across the road surface. Palm fronds and tropical foliage line the embankment, their leaves heavy with residual moisture. The ferry occupies the lower third of the view, while the winding road dominates the upper section. One reflection of the pale sky shimmers on the slick tarmac near the road's edge.
