River Stone Bench Night Rain Fuzhou Outcrop

Deep shadow swallows the rocky geology outcrop in Fuzhou while a thin rim of light traces the curved edge of a corrugated metal roof. Below, a low bench constructed from smooth river stones sits damp and heavy, glistening with recent rain. Beside the stone seating, a silver thermos and a pair of metal calipers rest on the wet surface, their surfaces reflecting the faint ambient glow. Autumn leaves rest on the surrounding rocks, their edges softened by the falling drizzle. The cold metal of the calipers touches the rough texture of the wet stones. Water beads on the thermos lid, catching the minimal light before rolling down its side.
