Neon Train Reflection in Puddle Near Novosibirsk Shelter

Steel-blue twilight washes the pavement where a shallow puddle mirrors a streak of electric light from an elevated train. The reflection stretches horizontally across the dark water, fractured by heat shimmer rising from the warm asphalt. To the left, condensation beads heavily on the glass of a bus shelter, blurring the interior into soft, indistinct shapes. Early spring air leaves the ground bare and damp, with patches of brown grass visible near the curb. The train's glow shifts from cool white to deep magenta as it passes overhead. A faint orange reflection from a nearby streetlamp touches the edge of the water. The glass surface of the shelter holds a layer of moisture that distorts the view of the waiting bench inside.
