Freezing Rain on Crossing Guard Hat Rim at Dawn

by Steven Castillo

Cold silver dawn light reflects off a thick glaze of freezing rain coating the brim of a crossing guard's high-visibility yellow hat. The ice forms a jagged, translucent shell that drips slowly onto the black visor below. Behind the hat, gray stone steps of a city hall rise steeply, their surfaces slick with moisture under a heavy overcast sky. The yellow fabric of the uniform stands out against the monochromatic stone and steel of Hong Kong. Frost crystals rest on the rim's edge where the ice meets the warm air. One droplet of melted water hangs precariously from the ice crust before falling onto the shoulder of the uniform jacket. The wet stone steps reflect the pale morning sky, showing the biting chill of the turn of seasons.
