Meteor Trail Over Desert Road at Blue Hour

by Francisco Allison

Steel-blue evening light washes the wind-cut escarpment near Riyadh, marking the final moments of midsummer twilight. A bright meteor streaks a sharp white line across the darkening sky, against the heavy rock face below. A paved road runs along the base of the ridge, where red taillights from distant vehicles form a glowing ribbon against the asphalt. Loose dust and dry scrub lie scattered on the ground, caught in the motion of the wind. The red glow from the car lights reflects faintly on the gritty surface, while the meteor's trail remains crisp against the vast, empty sky above the rugged terrain.
