Woman Crossing Puddle Reflection in Bobo Dioulasso

Copper-toned light spills across wet pavement as a woman steps over a shallow puddle reflecting an orange crosswalk signal. The market-lined side street in Bobo-Dioulasso glows with low-angle warmth, while drizzle silvers the asphalt and dampens the air. Her dark clothing contrasts against the vibrant orange glow mirrored in the water, which sits beneath her feet. Wooden stalls line the background, their awnings dripping with rain, while the street stretches into a blur of activity. The reflection of the signal pulses with a steady, artificial rhythm against the natural silver of the rain. A droplet hangs from the edge of a nearby awning, ready to fall.
