Pool Kickboard Drying Fence Before Morning Session

Blue-white studio LEDs cast a cool, clinical glow across a row of bright yellow and orange kickboards resting vertically on a stainless steel drying fence. The equipment stands in the corner of a quiet yoga studio in Nantes, its rubber mats still bearing faint damp patches from late-night aquatic workouts. Timer screens on the wall display red digital numbers against the deep night sky visible through high windows, marking the hours before the first class. Muted reflections of the boards stretch across the polished concrete floor, where the light creates long, sharp shadows that emphasize the stillness. One green yoga block sits untouched near the base of the fence, at the base of the space in preparation for the turn of the seasons.
