Street Barber Setup Near Tram Stop in Douala

Silvery winter light spills across a shuttered arcade in Douala, illuminating a compact barber station set up along the pavement before dawn. The barber's chair, draped in a worn blue cloth, sits tilted on the wet concrete of the rainy season, reflecting the muted glow of distant streetlamps. Behind the setup, the tram stop's metal framework rises in sharp geometric lines, against the soft, diffused sky. Layered urban colors—faded reds, deep blues, and rusted oranges—blend seamlessly into the scene, creating a mosaic of city life. A mirror mounted on a portable stand catches the faint reflection of the empty tram tracks stretching into the distance. The wet ground glistens under the stillness, showing the restless energy of the city as it waits to wake.
