Demolition Chute in Misty Autumn Rain

Steel mouth of a demolition chute mounts on a scaffolded facade near Madison under late autumn skies. Steady rain coats the rusted metal and wet plywood planks with a slick sheen. Mist hangs low, diffusing the dawn light into a flat gray wash that falls across the construction site. Water droplets bead along safety railings and drip from the chute's edge into the mud below. Weathered work boots and a heavy orange vest rest against the scaffolding, untouched by the downpour. The wet ground reflects the dull metal above, while a small puddle forms directly beneath the chute's lip.
