Golden Hour Shearing Board with Tagged Sheep in Togo

Warm firelight glows across a weathered wooden shearing board scattered with thick, curly wool clumps. Several tagged sheep stand nearby on the muddy ground of a stockyard loading ramp, their coats showing the turn of seasons. Low ground fog pools in the depressions of the dirt floor, softening the base of the ramp structure. The golden hour light casts long, deep shadows from the sheep and the board, highlighting the rough grain of the wood and the texture of the wool. A metal tag glints on one sheep's ear against the earthy tones of the yard. The scene rests on the patient labor of husbandry, with the fog lingering in the cool air of the evening.
