Scythe Against Barn Wall Autumn Light

Dark shadows pool beneath the wooden scythe leaning against weathered barn siding. The tool rests between rows of dormant vine trellises, its curved blade catching a thin rim of pale light against the deep gray of the early morning. Low-hanging clouds obscure the sky, casting a flat, cool illumination over the dry, brown grass and dormant vines. The wood grain of the scythe handle shows signs of use, against the smooth, dark metal. Rusty nails hold the barn planks together, while the wire of the trellis forms a geometric grid receding into the gloom. one drop of dew rests on the tip of the blade, reflecting the faint gray sky.
