Olive Presser Milling at Dawn Garoua

by Edith Merritt

Early morning mist hangs low over the muddy riverbank in Garoua, softening the edges of the stone mill. A worker stands beside the heavy circular stone, his hands gripping the wooden beam to rotate the grinder. The ground is damp and dark, reflecting the pale gray sky. Monsoon moisture rests on the rough texture of the stone and the worker's simple shirt. The river flows quietly in the background, its surface blurred by the mist. Sunlight has not yet broken through, leaving the scene in cool, diffused tones of brown and gray. The worker's posture shows the physical effort required to turn the heavy mill. one drop of oil glistens on the rim of the stone trough.
