Hotel Banquet Puddle Reflection Noon Light

Flat noon sunlight floods the interior of a banquet hall near Coro, illuminating a shallow puddle on the polished floor. The water shows a sharp, inverted image of tall windows and the glowing red tail lights of a vehicle parked outside. North sidelight strikes the wet surface, creating a mirrored composition where the dark floor meets the bright reflection. Empty chairs stand in rows against the walls, waiting for service. The turn of the season is visible in the specific quality of the light hitting the window frames. A thin line of water separates the real chairs from their distorted reflections in the puddle.
