Chained Farm Gate Over Dark Soil Trays Boots

Dark, churned earth fills the frame beneath a heavy metal gate secured with a thick chain. Copper-toned twilight light reflects off shallow puddles trapped in deep ruts, highlighting the wet texture of the soil. Beside the gate, plastic seedling trays sit in a row, their green sprouts against the muddy ground. A pair of worn rubber boots rests near the trays, their soles caked in fresh clay. The chain hangs loosely between iron posts, marking a boundary that is no longer open. Water droplets rest on the plastic edges of the trays, catching the fading light. at the edge is the reflection of the sky in a small puddle beside the boot heel.
