Steam Rising from Suzhou Sidewalk Grate in beneath a flickering underpass light in Suzhou

Steam Rising from Suzhou Sidewalk Grate

by Kathy Crawford

Grey concrete pavement glistens under a flickering underpass light, reflecting the muted tones of early summer rain. A metal grate embedded in the sidewalk emits a thick plume of white steam that rises and disperses into the damp air. Water beads on the rusted iron bars and runs in thin streams across the stone surface. The overhead light casts a harsh, intermittent glow that highlights the texture of wet asphalt and the swirling vapor. A slight tilt in the perspective emphasizes the vertical ascent of the steam against the dark, shadowed archway of the underpass. Droplets rest on the edges of the grate, catching the light before falling back onto the slick ground.
