Dawn Auction Floor Kasur Flower Bench Winter

Deep shadow blankets the auction floor in Kasur while a sharp rim light outlines the edge of a tarp-lined lane. From directly above, rows of wooden benches hold bundles of winter flowers, their stems tightly bound and resting on wet concrete. Low-hanging clouds outside the high windows diffuse the first light of dawn into a cool, gray wash that highlights the texture of burlap sacks and the rough grain of the wood. Color carries the frame through bursts of red, yellow, and green against the monochrome floor. One stem rests against a metal clip near the edge of the bench, its tip catching the faint glow.
