Sunflowers and Dahlias at Morning Market Near Bejaia

Wet petals of yellow sunflowers and deep red dahlias fill woven baskets on a damp stone table. The first rays of sunrise cut through clearing storm clouds, casting sharp, angled light across the glistening flower heads. Water droplets rest on the textured green stems, catching the golden glow while the dry season air leaves the background foliage dusty and pale. Behind the vibrant blooms, weather-beaten wooden crates show grayed wood grain from years of exposure. The heavy, saturated colors of the flowers contrast against the muted, wet gray of the morning ground. one drop of water slides down the side of a terracotta pot, resting on the rough stone edge.
