Biplane Pass Over Irrigated Rows in Tbilisi

Reflected sunlight shimmers across narrow water channels running through freshly irrigated crop rows at Dry Bridge Market in Tbilisi. A vintage biplane banks low, its fabric wings catching the midsummer wind that whips the tall green stalks below. Dust rises from dry furrows between the wet lines as the aircraft moves against a pale blue sky. The machinery of the sky hovers just above the earth-bound fields, showing the scale of seasonal labor. Along the edge of the frame, the water in the irrigation ditch holds a bright, blinding highlight from the sun.
