Grain Elevator Under Heavy Overcast Sky

by Marion Wall

Steel and concrete structures rise from the flat expanse of the Namibian veld, their utilitarian forms dominating the wide panoramic view. Hard white light reflects off the weathered metal surfaces, cutting through the heavy overcast sky that presses low and gray. Wet grasses in shades of deep green and brown rest on the ground, saturated by the recent rains of the wet season. The industrial complex stands as a massive monument to function, its vertical silos against the horizontal sweep of the prairie. Shadows fall sharply beneath the walkways and support beams, at the base of the heavy machinery in the earth. A rusted metal railing along the top of a silo catches the diffuse light, revealing the texture of oxidized iron against the pale sky.
