Oil Sheen Rainbows Over Amman Thunderheads

by Ricardo Hancock

A shimmering film of oil spreads across the water surface, fracturing the soft dawn light into bands of violet, green, and gold. Behind this iridescent patch, a heavy wall of stacked thunderheads dominates the horizon, their dark gray bases against the pale, misty sky. The dry season air creates a visible heat haze that softens the distant cityscape of Amman, blurring the edges of the buildings against the storm clouds. Light diffuses evenly through the morning mist, eliminating harsh shadows and allowing the oil's colors to glow without glare. The composition places the colorful water sheen in the lower third, while the imposing clouds fill the upper two-thirds. A faint reflection of the violet oil ripples gently against the dark, wet edge of the water.
