Steam Vent Blasts Through Grate Under Verona Train Line

Steel-blue twilight washes the wet cobblestones beneath an elevated train structure in Verona. A square iron grate embedded in the sidewalk releases a thick column of white steam that rises into the damp air. Rain-slicked surfaces reflect the distant glow of streetlamps and the red tail lights of passing vehicles. The heavy steel beams of the overhead railway cast sharp, dark shadows across the damp pavement. Condensation beads on the rusted metal edges of the vent cover. In the background, the warm orange glow of city lights begins to pierce the cooling blue hour, against the cool, rising vapor. The steam drifts sideways, caught in a faint breeze against the grey stone walls of the underpass.
