Puddled Plywood and Boot Marks on Construction Pallet

Wet plywood sheets rest in a chaotic stack on a wooden pallet, their edges darkened by recent rain. Deep, muddy boot prints mar the damp ground surrounding the stack, marking a path through the low-lying fog that pools in the shadows. Behind the materials, a metal scaffold rises against a building facade, its vertical poles catching the bright late-afternoon sun. The sky above is a pale wash of light, while the ground remains slick and reflective. Dust mixes with standing water near the base of the scaffold, creating a textured surface where the wood meets the earth. One shadow from a scaffold pole stretches across the wet plywood, defining the edge of the light.
