Wet Shopping Cart Corral Toulouse Winter Rain

Chrome shopping carts nest tightly within a metal corral on a high street in Toulouse, their curved handles reflecting the hard coastal glare of a late morning. Rain leaves the black rubber floor mat beneath them slick and glossy, mirroring the gray winter sky and the red brick facades of the display windows behind. The metal surfaces gleam with water droplets, showing the cold, humid air that hangs heavy after the storm. Stacks of carts create a rhythmic pattern of silver arcs against the dark, wet pavement. A puddle at the base of the corral distorts the reflection of a red awning above, while the cold light sharpens the edges of the steel rims.
