Shopping Cart Corral Wet High Street Kabul Morning

Chromatic steel shopping carts nestle in a tight row against a glass storefront, their surfaces slick with fine drizzle. The early morning light catches the wet rims of the metal frames while the main bodies remain in deep shadow. Behind the carts, the high street pavement reflects the gray sky, showing no standing water but a pervasive dampness. The dry season air leaves the air clear and sharp, highlighting the dust settling on the lower chassis. Red plastic handles stand out against the muted grays of the wet stone and the dark glass windows. The carts align in a rhythmic pattern, their wheels resting on the slick ground, creating a quiet line of utility before the day begins.
