Wiping Counter in Wellington
A wet, corrugated iron awning frames a narrow Wellington laneway where rain has turned the cobblestones into a slick, grey mirror reflecting the overcast sky. Beneath the shelter, a local baker wipes down a stainless steel counter, his hand leaving faint, smudged fingerprints on a clear glass pitcher waiting to be filled. Next to it, a vintage radio crackles with static, its wooden casing against the modern, rain-slicked brickwork of the adjacent building. A step stool sits slightly askew near the door, hinting at recent activity, while stacked plates gleam under the diffuse, shadowless light. The quiet, functional rhythm of a small business bracing against the sudden downpour, with the damp air thick in the narrow space.
