Pig Sorting Board Stack in Alsace Barn

Hard coastal glare cuts across a rough timber sorting board stack near a windbreak and water trough in an Alsace barnyard. Early winter light leaves the ground dusted with straw and a fine haze of barn dust hanging above the pens. The stack leans against weathered wood, its edges sharp against the bright sky. Coarse rope, worn rubber, and dry straw textures define the surfaces, showing years of use. Leading lines of the timber and trough draw toward the distant water. Shadows stretch long across the dirt, marking the late afternoon. One shadow edge falls across the bottom of a rubber mat.
