A metro entrance from a low-angle view with people rushing in during rainy weather, amidst a whirl of umbrellas ready to be closed. The red point of a traffic light, akin to a paint stroke, appears to have frozen the moment.
In this urban scene, the vivid red point of a traffic light seems to freeze the moment in all its dynamics. The invisible rain lends the scene an atmosphere of perpetual movement and urban energy.
Pedestrians move briskly, each carrying their umbrella like a shield against the assaults of the sky. Despite the gloomy weather, a certain beauty emanates from the black and white.
