Coppice Worker Splits Hazel Rods at Aktobe River
by Dana Ochoa
Molten golden light floods the edge of a riverside landing in Aktobe, illuminating a coppice worker standing at the frame's border. The worker grips a heavy maul, splitting a fresh hazel rod into curved hurdles. Early autumn colors tint the surrounding scrub, while low-hanging gray clouds hover above the water. Rough bark textures contrast with the smooth, pale wood exposed by the split. Dust motes rise from the impact point, catching the side light. The worker wears worn, practical clothing suited for manual labor. Behind them, the river reflects the warm sky, and a pile of finished hurdles rests on the muddy ground. One fresh splinter hangs from the fractured end of the rod.
