Rotting Boat Skeleton on Multan Riverbank

Pale, weathered timber ribs of a decaying boat stand exposed on a wet, muddy riverbank near Multan. Soft, overcast light flattens the scene, turning the mud into a glossy, dark mirror. Despite the midday timing, a thin layer of frost coats the rough wood grain and the surrounding silt, creating a stark contrast between the warm earth tones and the cool, crystalline white. The water in the foreground holds the boat's broken silhouette in a perfect, inverted reflection. Broken planks lie scattered in the silt, their surfaces rough and splintered. The frost clings to every jagged edge of the skeleton, showing the stillness of the early summer morning. One shard of light reflects off a wet nail embedded in the lower beam.
