Sunset Reflections on Wiped Treadmill Rails

Honey-colored light floods the indoor lap-pool deck near Zakho, casting long, quiet shadows along the walls where the season turns. A tight view reveals a cardio station with rows of black heart-rate straps coiled inside plastic bins. The metal rails of nearby treadmills shine with streaks of white from being wiped down, catching the low sun in sharp, horizontal glints. Rubber mats show scuff marks and faint moisture residue. The equipment sits still, organized for the upcoming swim session, while the warm window glow highlights the texture of the plastic bins and the cool sheen of the steel frames. One reflection of a window frame stretches across the polished floor.
