Morning Fish Auction Harbor Quay Salvador

Deep shadows engulf the workers standing along the wet concrete quay in Salvador, their figures outlined by a sharp rim of early morning light. Rain-slicked surfaces reflect the pale gray sky above, while the perfectly clear atmosphere suggests the storm has passed. A fisherman in a worn yellow raincoat leans over a crate of silver scales, his posture heavy with the weight of the day. Beside him, crates of mackerel glisten with seawater, their wet skin contrasting against the dull gray stone. The perspective sits just behind another worker's shoulder, focusing on the rhythmic arrangement of ice and fish. one drop of water slides down the edge of a wooden crate, catching the faint light before falling into the dark gap below.
