Goat Kidding Shelf Concrete Boot Prints Colombia

Tropical afternoon light hits a rough wooden shelf mounted low against a wet concrete wall beside a pasture gate. A newborn goat kit lies curled on the dry planks, its legs tucked beneath a body still damp from birth. Dark boot prints stain the slick gray concrete below, showing recent movement in the mud. Wind whips the kit's fine white hair and flutters a nearby green leaf. The shelf is simple, unfinished wood, against the smooth, rain-slicked surface of the wall. A metal latch on the gate gleams in the bright sun. The wet concrete reflects the sky above, while the dry wood holds the vulnerable animal safe from the ground. One droplet of water rolls down the shelf edge onto the concrete floor.
