Tidal Station Dome Before Dawn Sulawesi

Metal housings of a marine science field station rest beside an observatory dome against the dark wet season sky. Faint ground glow illuminates the wet concrete floor where clear tidal water laps at the foundation. Indicator lights glow steady red and green, their reflections stretching across the slick metal surfaces. Droplets rest on the edge of a railing, catching the starlight in tiny points of brightness. The structure stands silent and precise in the still hours before dawn, its dark silhouette defined against the pale horizon. One reflection of a green light shimmers on a curved metal panel.
