Winter Dovecote Reflections Glass Arcade

Crisp high-altitude light falls through the glass roof of a San Francisco arcade, illuminating a weathered stone dovecote standing in the center of the wet pavement. Late morning shadows stretch short and sharp across the slick surface, where a light drizzle has left a sheen of water reflecting the structure above. The stone masonry shows deep gray fissures and patches of moss, against the clean, modern lines of the overhead glazing. Raindrops streak the glass panels, distorting the view of the sky into blurred patches of pale blue and white. The mirrored composition on the ground creates a perfect, albeit wet, duplicate of the dovecote's arched openings and rough textures. one drop of water rolls down a stone edge, merging with the puddle below.
