Brass Surveyor Transit on Workshop Shelf Split

North window sidelight washes the workshop shelf in Varos, Split, illuminating a brass surveyor's transit resting on a sturdy tripod. The late-afternoon sun casts long, sharp shadows across the polished metal instrument, highlighting the intricate engravings on its circular scales and the cool sheen of the brass against the matte finish of the wooden shelf. Dust motes float in the angled beams, settling lightly on the dry, clean surfaces of the room. The tripod legs splay outward on the floor, their joints tight and precise. Behind the instrument, a plain wall provides a neutral backdrop, keeping visual clutter to a minimum. A small, circular reflection of the window frame glimmers on the brass base, at the base of the object in the quiet, sun-drenched space.
