Gulls Following Farmer in Cuba After Storm

Wet, dark soil fills the frame in freshly turned rows that glisten under the late afternoon sun. A farmer walks through the center of the field, his silhouette sharp against the bright, clearing sky. A tight line of white gulls follows closely behind him, their wings beating in rhythm with his steps. The monsoon rain has left the ground saturated, creating shallow puddles that reflect the pale blue sky and the birds above. Green shoots push up between the furrows, vibrant against the brown earth. The low angle emphasizes the length of the furrows stretching toward the horizon. Shadows fall long and soft across the wet surface, highlighting the texture of the clods and the sleek feathers of the gulls as they scan the soil.
