Silver Weather Balloon Dawn in Ouagadougou in on a wind-scoured research platform in Ouagadougou

Silver Weather Balloon Dawn in Ouagadougou

by Stefan Savage

Mist rests on the corrugated metal surface of the research platform in Ouagadougou as first light breaks over the monsoon season landscape. A large silver weather balloon envelope dominates the frame, its metallic fabric rippling under the force of the wind. The dawn light is soft and diffused, turning the wet ground into a reflective sheet of gray. Puddles gather in the depressions of the concrete base, mirroring the pale sky above. The balloon's seams stretch tight against the gusts, while the surrounding equipment stands silent and still. One tear in the fabric near the valve catches the light, revealing the dark interior against the bright silver exterior.
