Students in Winter Scarves Waiting Outside Lecture Hall

Rainwater darkens the stone paths of the Kerman campus courtyard, reflecting the harsh late afternoon sun that cuts across the scene in a coastal glare. Students cluster near the entrance of a lecture hall, their faces partially obscured by thick winter scarves wrapped in muted earth tones and deep blues. The autumn light casts sharp, high-contrast shadows against the weathered concrete walls, highlighting the wet texture of the pavement and the fabric folds of their clothing. An over-the-shoulder view places the observer directly behind one student, focusing on the group's stillness as they stand before the heavy wooden doors. One droplet slides down the glass pane of the door, blurring the reflection of the bright sky.
