Wet Leaves Skittering in Duran University Arcade

Soft, diffused light from dramatic, low-hanging clouds fills the open-air arcade of a university in Durán during the wet season. Thick green columns line a paved walkway, creating strong leading lines that draw toward the distant lecture hall entrance. Fresh rain leaves the stone floor slick and dark, reflecting the gray sky. A scattering of brown and green leaves skitters across the ground, caught in a sudden breeze. The architecture features simple concrete and brick, typical of the region. No students are present, leaving the space empty and quiet. The wet pavement catches the light, highlighting the texture of the moss growing at the base of the pillars. at the edge is a single leaf resting against a vertical column, damp and heavy.
