Rock Samples on Classroom Shelf Near Blackboard Map

Pale dawn light spills across the dusty floor of a quiet classroom near Ondo, illuminating a wooden shelf lined with rough-hewn rock samples. The stones, varying in shades of ochre, charcoal, and slate, rest in neat rows beneath a large blackboard map. Their polished surfaces catch small highlights where the first light touches them, creating sharp points of brightness against the matte stone. The air is still, and the cool season hangs in the room, visible in the crisp edges of the shadows. A piece of chalk dust lingers on the shelf edge, while the map's chalk lines fade into the dark background. The light falls across the floorboards, revealing the grain of the wood and the texture of the rocks.
