Hatchery Cart at Dawn in Niger Rainy Season

First light of dawn spills across a metal hatchery candling tray cart stationed along a dusty feedlot lane in Niger. The cart holds rows of translucent trays, their surfaces reflecting the soft, pale orange glow of the rising sun. Wet patches on the reddish earth indicate the recent end of the rainy season, glistening under the clear sky. The metal frame shows utilitarian wear, stripped of any decorative varnish, emphasizing practical stewardship. Long shadows stretch from the cart's legs across the ground, guiding toward the horizon where the light intensifies. The trays sit empty or partially filled, waiting for the day's work. One rivet on the cart's corner catches the morning gleam, anchoring the composition in tangible reality.
