Night Sleeper Car on Beirut Causeway Under Lighthouse Beam

The deep crimson velvet of the upper berth cushion catches the sudden sweep of white lighthouse light, cutting through the thick summer fog that rests on the train windows. Inside the compartment, wooden paneling glows with warm amber tones where the beam strikes, contrasting sharply with the cool blue shadows pooling in the lower bunk. Outside the glass, the dark silhouette of the causeway railing blurs into the black water, while the rhythmic flash of the lighthouse creates a strobe effect on the sleeping passengers. A folded blanket with a subtle geometric pattern rests on the lower bunk, its texture highlighted by the moving light. The narrow aisle floor reflects the passing illumination, revealing dust motes suspended in the air before the next shadow falls.
