Refinery Flare Stack Burning Above Pipes

Soft afternoon light diffuses through low-hanging clouds, casting a muted glow over the industrial complex beside Meknes. A towering flare stack rises from a dense maze of steel pipes, its flame burning bright orange against the grey sky. Exposed structural steel frames the view, showing rivets and weathered paint textures in the damp air. Early spring moisture rests on the metal surfaces, creating a sheen that reflects the pale sky. The pipes crisscross in complex layers, leading the eye upward toward the burning column. Heavy beams support the structure, their utilitarian mass dominating the landscape. At the base, a small patch of green grass contrasts with the rusted metal.
