Covered Pole Vault Pit in Dappled Delhi Light

Heavy gray clouds fill the sky above a roadside stop near Mehrauli, Delhi, where dappled sunlight falls through overhead tree leaves. The light creates shifting patches of bright yellow and deep shadow across a blue padded pole vault pit covered by a secured tarp. Dry, brittle grass lines the track edges, marking the dry season. The wind-resistant fabric ripples slightly under tension, held firmly by wooden planks and metal supports anchored into the earth. A lone fiberglass pole rests against the far edge, its shaft gleaming faintly where the light hits. The heavy clouds loom overhead, casting a flat, uniform tone across the upper horizon while the dappled light highlights the texture of the dry grass beside the blue padding.
