Steam rising from Podgorica tea stand

Dappled sunlight falls through late autumn leaves, casting shifting patches of gold and shadow across a narrow back alley in Podgorica. A simple metal tea stand sits against the dark brick of a shuttered arcade, its surface wet with recent rain. White steam rises in thick, drifting columns from the grates and teapots, blending with the cool morning air. Three red plastic stools rest on the slick pavement, their colors muted by the dampness. The scene shows the quiet stillness of a city street after rainfall, with water pooling in the cracks of the concrete. One puddle near the stand reflects the pale sky and the faint outline of the steam above.
