Nacreous Cloud Over Karachi Plain at Twilight

Iridescent streaks of nacreous cloud stretch across a deepening blue sky, their pearly surfaces glowing with subtle shifts of violet and pale gold. Below, a flat plain near Karachi extends toward a distant horizon where the town's glow creates a thin band of warm orange light. Three dark telegraph poles rise in a diagonal line, their wooden texture rough and weathered against the smooth atmospheric haze. The early winter air holds no mist, leaving the shapes of the poles sharp and distinct. A thin wire connects the poles, cutting a fine black line across the cloud's lower edge. The ground remains in shadow, its dry earth tone barely visible beneath the fading daylight.
