Logistics shelf chargers and tags in evening blue light

Blue evening light washes over a metal pick-face shelf holding rows of scanner chargers and replenishment cards. Pencil-marked count tags hang from the rack, their handwritten numbers smudged by handling. String lights cast a warm glow that settles into the corners of the cross-dock lane, against the cool twilight outside. Dust motes are absent; instead, grease stains mark the floor near the base of the shelving. The midsummer air is still, evidenced by the lack of motion blur on the hanging tags. Metal surfaces reflect the string lights in sharp, elongated streaks. One count tag with the number 42 hangs slightly lower than its neighbors, its cardboard edge frayed.
