Orange Trees in Tiled Courtyard Fountain

Sodium-vapor light washes the courtyard in a warm, orange haze as evening settles over the tiled stair hall in Indore. Green leaves on the orange trees glisten with fine rain droplets, contrasting against the intricate blue and white mosaic patterns of the central fountain. Water flows gently over the ceramic tiles, creating small ripples that catch the streetlamp glow. The converging lines of the stairwell walls draw toward the distant vanishing point where the city lights begin to flicker on. Wet stone surfaces reflect the amber illumination, showing the turn of seasons as the drizzle continues. One water droplet hangs from the tip of a leaf, poised to fall back into the fountain basin.
