Giant Teacup Pool Above Entoto Stream

Tropical bright light floods the early afternoon landscape above a glacial stream near Entoto in Addis Ababa. A teacup the size of a swimming pool dominates the center, its white ceramic rim reflecting the intense sun against the monsoon haze. The water ripples gently around the impossible vessel, while heat haze shimmers across the surface. To the left, a metal tray for an air-barrier seam roller rests on the rocky bank, separating the surreal element from the natural stream. Dark wet stones contrast with the pale ceramic, and the distant mountains blur slightly in the atmospheric heat. One droplet rests on the teacup's outer edge, suspended in the still air.
