Branding Chute Under Wind-Whipped Tarps in Spring Dust

by Craig Dominguez

Hard coastal glare flattens the shadows beneath a heavy steel branding chute anchored in a dry corral. Thick plastic tarps lash violently against the metal frame, whipped by a relentless wind that lifts fine dust into a swirling haze. The ground is churned pale earth, scattered with sparse, early spring grasses struggling through the grit. A thick fog hangs low, softening the distant fence line while the foreground remains sharp and gritty. The metal surfaces reflect the intense noon light, against the dull, wind-torn fabric. One leather strap hangs loosely from the chute gate, vibrating slightly in the gale.
