Bakery Loaves on Scaffold in Thane Rain

Warm golden-brown loaves rest in neat rows on a metal conveyor belt that cuts diagonally across the frame. The industrial steel surface shows grease stains and flour dust, against the smooth, scored crusts of the bread. Above, heavy gray rain clouds press against the high skylights, flooding the space with diffuse, cool morning light. Outside the glass, the sky is a uniform sheet of slate, hinting at the monsoon season. The camera tilts sharply to the right, making the scaffolding and beams lean precariously. one drop of condensation rests on the edge of a metal tray, ready to fall onto the warm dough below.
