Chad Ruined Schoolhouse Chalkboard at Sunset

Golden firelight washes over a crumbling chalkboard mounted on a crumbling adobe wall inside a roofless schoolhouse in Chad. The board, stained with decades of erased chalk dust, sits behind shards of broken window glass that catch the low sun. Dry season dust coats the rough plaster surfaces, while ground fog pools heavily in the shadows on the earthen floor. The light creates sharp, warm contrasts against the cool gray of the stone. A vertical line of sunlight falls across the lower left corner, illuminating floating dust particles and the jagged edge of a missing brick.
