Grandmother Making Pasta in Zadar Market Rain
by Monica Blair
Rain streaks down the cobblestone lane in Zadar, reflecting the deep indigo of the evening sky. A grandmother stands in silhouette against the fading blue light, her hands working dough on a wooden board. Water beads on her wool coat and the rough stone walls of the market stalls lining the narrow path. Autumn leaves, brown and wet, rest on the damp pavement near her boots. The low angle emphasizes her stance against the wind, with flour dusting the air in a chaotic swirl that catches the last ambient glow. Raindrops blur the background market lights into soft, elongated orbs of white and yellow. The texture of the wet stone contrasts with the smooth, pliable dough under her fingers. One droplet hangs from the brim of her hat, trembling before falling.
