Funicular Cars Cross on Sahara Hillside Fog

Two boxy funicular cars meet midway on a steep, rusted steel track cutting through a dry, sandy slope. Thick white fog rolls from the harbor mouth below, obscuring the base of the hill while bright midmorning sun burns through the haze above. The metal rails gleam with heat distortion, shimmering in the tropical brightness. Dust hangs suspended in the air, blurring the edges of the concrete station platforms. One car ascends while the other descends, their windows reflecting the pale, washed-out sky. The lower car casts a sharp, geometric shadow across the sandy embankment beside the track. Heat waves ripple off the rail supports, distorting the view of the distant water line.
