Plastic Wrapped Hay Bale Nanjing Orchard Dawn

Pale plastic sheeting wraps a cylindrical hay bale resting on muddy earth beside a narrow lane. Overhead, wooden orchard ladders lean against crates arranged in orderly rows. The ground shows wet patches reflecting the soft gray sky, evidence of recent rain in the humid dry season. Diffused light eliminates harsh shadows, revealing the texture of compressed straw through the translucent wrap. The arrangement of tools suggests preparation for the harvest. A faint sheen of moisture rests on the lower edge of the plastic where it meets the damp soil.
