Rainy Overpass Ramp Above Shuttered Market Stalls

Soft overcast light washes the curved concrete ramp of an overpass that sweeps above a row of closed shops in Paloquemao Market. Rain has left the asphalt slick and dark, reflecting the pale gray sky. Steam rises steadily from metal grates lining the walkway, swirling into the cool air after the monsoon downpour. The shuttered metal doors of the market stalls stand tight and gray, their surfaces streaked with water. A Dutch angle tilt tilts the horizon, making the ramp appear to lean sharply against the vertical lines of the shop fronts. Water droplets rest on the edge of the concrete barrier, catching the diffuse light before falling back onto the wet pavement below.
