Surreal Train Car at Rio Floating Flower Market

by Vera Merritt

Wet season mist hangs low over the Copacabana floating market where wooden boats laden with vibrant tropical flowers bob in the channel. Soft overcast light diffuses across the water, highlighting the steam and cooking smoke drifting between the vessels. A passenger train car, impossible and sharp-edged, is embedded directly into the market structure, its metal siding rusted against the humid air. Bright midmorning light catches the wet surfaces of the flowers and the damp wood of the hulls. Layers of depth recede as more boats fill the background, their colorful blooms against the grey metal of the train. at the edge is a single red hibiscus petal resting on the rusted step of the train door.
