Woman Sorting Coffee Beans on Drying Bed

Raindrops strike the wet pavement along a narrow Hamburg market lane, creating a shimmering, gray film that reflects the harsh noon sky. A woman stands low in the frame, her hands moving quickly over a wooden drying bed stacked with dark, glistening coffee beans. The flat light bounces off the nearby canal water, casting a cool, silvery sheen across the wet wood and the woman's rain-slicked coat. Puddles ripple around her boots as she sifts through the beans, separating them with practiced precision. The wet grain of the wood contrasts with the smooth, oily surface of the coffee, while droplets slide off the edges of the drying trays. one drop of water rolls from the corner of a wooden slat and hits the pavement below.
