Lightning Reflection in Substation Window Wet Gravel

Bright midday sun illuminates a canal lock chamber in Bafoussam, where heat shimmer distorts the air above sun-struck surfaces. A small substation control cabin sits centrally, its glass window capturing a sharp, jagged bolt of lightning. Below, wet gravel reflects the electrical discharge in scattered, glittering shards. The symmetrical framing places the cabin squarely against the industrial backdrop of the lock. Concrete walls show water stains from the monsoon, while the gravel surface glistens with recent heavy rain. The lightning flash creates a stark white line against the grey sky, mirrored perfectly in the dark glass and the puddled stones. One streak of lightning ends in a sharp reflection on the lower right corner of the gravel.
