Insemination Thaw Unit in Costa Rican Rice Paddies

A stainless steel insemination thaw unit sits on a wooden crate amidst terraced rice paddies in Costa Rica. Copper-toned low sun skims the tops of the grain, casting long, sharp shadows across the wet soil. Thick mist rests on the water surfaces, softening the distant terraces while the metal unit remains stark and reflective. The turn of the seasons is visible in the dormant stalks and the damp, grey-green hue of the water. No generic gloss mars the practical arrangement of equipment against the agricultural landscape. The cold light reflects off the unit's handle, at the base of the scene in the weather-shaped reality of the field.
