Frost on Observatory Catwalk Before Dawn in near a weather balloon launch site in Iran

Frost on Observatory Catwalk Before Dawn

by Kofi Roberson

Rime ice coats the curved metal railing of a science observatory catwalk, forming a crystalline layer against the soft, diffused gray of a monsoon dawn. Below, low-hanging clouds obscure the ground near a weather balloon launch site in Iran, blending the sky and earth in a seamless wash of pale blue and white. The shuttered telescope dome stands dark and solid at the far end, its heavy metal doors reflecting the muted morning light. The symmetrical path stretches forward, flanked by frost-covered grating that crunches silently under potential footsteps. One beam of light begins to break through the cloud cover, illuminating the texture of the ice on the railing's edge.
