Lamb Creep Gate Silhouette at Gambia Dawn

Cold silver dawn light spills across a dusty pen near a windbreak and water trough in Gambia. A metal lamb creep feeder gate stands silhouetted against the brightening aisle, its repetitive care work embedded in the props. Dust or steam hangs low above the pens, catching the first rays of the morning sun. The turn of seasons is visible in the dry grass and the specific construction of the feeder. The gate frames the path where livestock move, its dark shape stark against the pale sky. A faint reflection of the metal edge glimmers on the wet rim of the water trough nearby.
