Kettle on Stove in Train Terminal Stone Cottage

A black cast-iron stove anchors the corner of a restored stone cottage nestled within a vast train terminal. Steam rises in a thin, white plume from the spout of a copper kettle resting on the flat top. Late afternoon light floods the space, reflecting off a nearby body of water to illuminate the rough-hewn gray stones and the polished metal surfaces. Low-hanging clouds cast soft, diffuse shadows across the high vaulted ceiling where steel beams converge toward a distant vanishing point. The warm glow of the water reflection highlights the texture of the mortar and the rounded curves of the kettle. one drop of condensation hangs precariously from the rim of the kettle's lid.
