Sanitation Crew Salting Antwerp Sidewalks

Orange sodium lamps cast a warm, localized glow on wet brick sidewalks where a municipal sanitation crew works. The workers, seen from behind, spread salt across the slippery surface near a polling station entrance in Antwerp. Heavy overcast skies dominate the background, against the dry, clear mountain light filtering through the clouds. The bricks glisten with moisture, reflecting the orange hue of the lamps. Piles of salt sit in open sacks beside the crew, ready for application. The collective urgency of the task is visible in their synchronized movements. The scene shows the tension between the heavy sky and the bright, artificial warmth of the lamps. One puddle near the curb reflects the orange glow.
