Late Afternoon Light on Delhi School Staircase

Broad beams of late afternoon sun pour through a tall rectangular window set into a school staircase wall. The light strikes pale cream walls and bounces softly, illuminating the dusty air. Below, a floor of polished grey tiles reflects the bright square patch of illumination with a glossy sheen. The geometry of the window frame cuts a sharp, defined shape against the muted interior. Shadows stretch long and soft across the steps, creating a rhythmic pattern of light and dark. The warm golden hue of late summer settles over the quiet, formative space. A small scuff mark on the tile edge catches the direct glare, highlighting the smooth surface texture.
