Closeup of a very shallow gray puddle on a city street. Little concrete bumps stick out of the water’s surface like islands, and a patch of dirty snow and ice slopes upward from left to right in the foreground at bottom frame. Reflected in the water is a pale winter sun, in a small opening of blue sky surrounded by gray clouds. Although it’s clear what the image is, it also makes me think of a snow-capped mountain lit by a waning sun, shining through the clouds of a gathering storm.
