Predawn Norwegian Parade in Nanning Waterfront

by Felicia Peck

Monsoon clouds hang low over the Nanning waterfront, pressing dark gray against the predawn sky. Under the faint glow of distant city lights and scattered stars, figures in traditional Norwegian bunads stand in formation along the wet pavement. The heavy wool of the costumes absorbs the dim light, appearing deep green and maroon against the slick, reflective ground. Rain-slicked cobblestones mirror the faint orange streetlamps, creating long, distorted streaks of color. Small Norwegian flags with blue crosses and red fields stand limp in the damp air, their fabric heavy with moisture. The scene holds a stillness before the movement begins, with the texture of wet earth and the rough weave of the traditional garments visible in the low light. One flagpole tip catches the first hint of horizon brightness.
