Mist Shrouded Sheet Goods Cart Under Crane

Cold silver dawn light falls through thick, rolling mist to illuminate a heavy-duty steel cart loaded with stacks of oriented strand board. The wet plywood sheets glisten with a dull sheen, their rough wood grain and paper labels stark against the gray fog. Beneath the towering steel lattice of a construction crane, the open ground shows patches of frost on dormant autumn grass. The metal wheels of the cart rest firmly on the damp earth, while the crane's base anchors the scene in the flat Illinois landscape. A faint orange safety cone sits near the cart's edge, its color muted by the low light and heavy air. The steel structure of the crane looms large, casting long, soft shadows that stretch across the wet pavement.
