Koi Balloon Over Helsinki Fish Market at Dawn

by Dale Bolton

First rays of early spring sunrise spill across wet concrete and stainless steel counters in a Punavuori fish market. A vendor in a dark apron arranges silver mackerel on beds of melting ice, their breath visible in the damp air. Above the scene, a massive koi fish floats like a living parade balloon, its orange scales reflecting the dawn light while casting a soft shadow on the awning below. Water droplets rest on the vendor's gloves as they handle the catch. The giant fish hovers just above the metal display cases, its tail dipping near the hanging plastic sheets. Wet pavement reflects the orange glow, while the fish's scales shimmer with a metallic sheen that matches the wet counters below. One droplet slides from the koi's fin onto the vendor's shoulder.
