Rain Soaked Newspaper Stand Midnight Cologne in beside a steamed-up bus shelter in Cologne

Rain Soaked Newspaper Stand Midnight Cologne

by Tommy Hardin

A steel newspaper stand stands empty on a wet cobblestone corner in Cologne, its glass panels fogged by the cold early winter air. Beside it, a bus shelter steams up, blurring the interior lights against the midnight dark. A sweeping beam of white light cuts through the rain, illuminating the glistening metal surfaces and the scattered debris of brown leaves and paper trash funneling along the curb. The wind drives the rain sideways, turning the street into a slick mirror that reflects the harsh, rhythmic sweep of the light. One red reflection from a distant traffic signal bleeds onto the wet pavement near the stand's base.
