Morning Light in Ait Melloul Market Hall

First rays of winter sunrise pierce the vaulted atrium of an iron and glass market hall in Ait Melloul, illuminating dust suspended in humid air. Wet stone floors mirror the structural ribs of the ceiling, creating a symmetrical composition where the sky above meets the ground below. The cold, pale light highlights the dark metal framework against the translucent glass panels. Puddles on the concrete reflect the arched windows, doubling the geometric patterns of the architecture. Heavy iron beams cast long, sharp shadows across the empty stalls, showing the quiet stillness before the day begins. A streak of gold light catches the edge of a rusted support column, at the base of the vast space in tangible texture.
