Spiral Harbor Breakwater Under Milky Way

Deep shadows cloak the winding concrete curves of a spiral breakwater structure rising from the water below. A sharp rim light traces the outer edges of the massive stone walls, separating them from the dark void beneath. The scene sits beneath a wide interchange overpass in Croatia, its roadways visible as faint, dark ribbons in the gloom. Despite the heavy overcast sky and light drizzle, a brilliant, arching band of the Milky Way stretches clearly across the blue daytime sky, defying all natural light. The symmetry of the spiral pulls attention inward to the central point where the water swirls. Droplets of rain rest on the rough, gray texture of the concrete, catching the faint glow of the impossible starlight above. at the edge is a single white line of foam where the water meets the stone edge.
