Dairy Calf Hutches Under Sleet Beside Milk Buckets

Gray sleet sheets down across a row of wooden calf hutches lined up beside a pasture gate in Jharkhand. Puddles form on the dry earth, reflecting the faint glow of distant city lights as the storm clears. Several stacked metal milk buckets sit near the hutch entrance, their surfaces dull and wet. The sky remains overcast, casting a flat, cool light over the scene. Water droplets rest on the corrugated metal roofs of the shelters. The ground is muddy where the rain has pooled, against the dry dust further back. A thin layer of sleet coats the wire mesh of the hutch doors. The wet metal of the buckets mirrors the dim urban glow from the horizon. Reflections of the hutches stretch across the shallow water on the ground. One bucket rests slightly tilted against the stack.
