Steam Rising from Sahiwal Subway Entrance

Pale silver dawn light floods the ribbed concrete lobby of a Sahiwal subway station, illuminating the cool stillness before sunrise. Wisps of white steam curl upward from the ground, drifting through the low-hanging gray clouds that press against the high ceiling. The tilted perspective emphasizes the vast, empty space defined by heavy vertical ribs and smooth gray surfaces. Early spring air hangs heavy in the quiet hall, where no people disturb the solitude. Shadows stretch long across the tiled floor, ending abruptly at the edge of a metal grate where the steam originates.
