Neon Bodega Awning Rain Under Train Tracks

Vertical metal beams of an elevated railway cast deep shadows over a narrow concrete sidewalk in Niamey. A corrugated metal awning extends outward, glowing with the electric blue and harsh pink of a neon sign. Rain falls in thin, vertical streaks, catching the intermittent flashes of passing vehicle headlights that slice through the alley darkness. Water beads on the rusted edges of the awning before dripping onto the wet pavement. The ground reflects the fragmented neon light, creating shifting pools of color against the gray concrete. In the background, the dark silhouette of a building wall stands still while the light from the street above flickers across the scene.
