Twilight Pongal Festival Cattle Mekelle Square

by Wade Norris

Rain-slicked cobblestones reflect the soft orange glow of the Mekelle town horizon under a slate-grey twilight sky. In the foreground, two oxen stand adorned with vibrant red and yellow fabric strips woven into their horns, their dark coats glistening under a fine, steady drizzle. Behind them, a public square fills with indistinct figures holding umbrellas, their forms softening as they recede into the mist. The cool season air hangs heavy, visible in the way the rain beads on the animals' flanks and the wet pavement. Strings of warm lights strung between buildings create a distant amber haze that contrasts with the cool blue tones of the falling rain. One puddle near the front hoof mirrors the flickering town lights above.
