Silhouette of Taranto Marsh Under Silver Rain

Heavy gray clouds press low over a silver river winding through a salt marsh, where late summer grasses stand tall and wet. From a high ridge above layered foothills near Taranto, the landscape dissolves into dark silhouettes against the dimming sky. Distant city lights begin to glow in the valley, their orange points reflecting sharply in the shallow water below. A brief sun shower streaks through the air, turning the river surface into a mirror that duplicates the overcast sky. The marsh grass bends slightly under the weight of the moisture, creating a textured foreground that leads toward the glowing horizon. The water's edge ripples gently, catching the faint reflection of the first street lamps.
