Tandem Bicycle on California Canal Bridge Morning

Low water reflects the pale orange glow of the rising sun against a horizon haze. A black tandem bicycle rests on the weathered concrete of a narrow canal bridge in California. Tiny droplets of light drizzle coat the metal frame and the damp, gray pavement. The dry season keeps the surrounding vegetation sparse and brown, against the wet sheen on the bridge surface. Sunlight catches the rim of the front wheel while the rear seat sits in shadow. Water beads along the chain guard and drips slowly from the handlebars onto the slick stone below.
