Shepherd Silhouette Reflected in Ceiling Water

Honeyed evening light silhouettes a shepherd standing beside a metal cooling rack on a Rabat harbor quay. The man wears worn clothes heavy with the day's labor, his form sharp against the marine fog. Above him, the sky has inverted into a shimmering ceiling of water that mirrors the quay perfectly. The reflection shows the shepherd walking on the underside of the sky, his boots suspended in the liquid air. Marine fog drifts through the inverted scene, softening the edges of the metal rack. In the immediate foreground, out-of-focus green leaves frame the surreal water ceiling, anchoring the impossible reflection to the gritty stone of the harbor.
