Portuguese Podengo in Ichalkaranji Garden Night

A Portuguese Podengo stands alert on damp earth at the edge of a garden in Ichalkaranji, its short coat catching the faint glow of ambient light against a deep night sky. The dog’s distinct V-shaped ears frame a tapered muzzle, while its lean body rests near weathered terracotta pots. Rain-slicked soil reflects the dim starlight, and a rough brick wall forms a soft, uncluttered backdrop. The 100mm lens isolates the texture of the fur and the wet sheen on the ground, showing the quiet stillness of the rainy season evening. Cool shadows blend with the subtle warmth of distant street lamps illuminating the garden edge.
