Mist and Soot on Burundi Signal Gantry in under a cable-stayed bridge span in Burundi

Mist and Soot on Burundi Signal Gantry

by Melanie Delaney

Rust-colored steel beams of a signal gantry stretch across the frame, their surfaces coated in a thick, greasy layer of diesel soot mixed with clinging mist. The structure sits beneath the massive concrete deck of a cable-stayed bridge, where low-hanging clouds diffuse the late afternoon sun into a flat, engineering daylight. Every bolt and rivet stands out against the dark grime, defined by the dry season air that offers no rain to wash the soot away. The cables of the bridge converge sharply toward a distant vanishing point, creating a geometric tunnel of gray concrete and blackened steel. one drop of moisture hangs precariously from the edge of a horizontal beam, catching the light before falling into the shadowed void below.
