Trolleybus at Dock Before Sunrise in Shikoku Autumn

Deep shadow swallows the lower body of a trolleybus resting beside a weathered floating dock in Shikoku. A sharp rim of golden light traces the vehicle's upper edge and the taut cables stretching from its roof to the shore. The cables pull tight against the morning air, forming distinct geometric lines against a sky heavy with dramatic, rolling clouds. Autumn leaves in shades of burnt orange and russet rest on the branches above, against the dark, wet surface of the dock. The scene holds a stillness as the bus waits for its route to begin. One cable reflects the pale dawn light against the dark rubber tire.
