Rainbow Logs Silhouetted in Nigerian Dry Light

Midday sun bleaches the sky into a stark, pale white, casting the foreground into deep shadow. Silhouetted against this brightness, ancient logs stand in a dense cluster, their surfaces worn by relentless wind. The wood displays bands of rust, ochre, and faded violet where mineral deposits have stained the stone over millennia. A fine layer of red dust hangs low above the cracked earth, softening the edges of the fallen timber. The logs rise vertically, their jagged tops catching the harsh light while their bases disappear into the dusty haze. The scene reveals the texture of weathered stone, rough and pitted, standing firm against the dry air. One crack in the nearest log glints with a sharp line of reflected brightness.
