Scythe Silhouette Against Dusk in Burkina Faso in along freshly irrigated rows in Burkina Faso

Scythe Silhouette Against Dusk in Burkina Faso

by Phyllis Wooten

A wooden scythe rests vertically against the rough, textured wall of a weathered barn. The tool stands in sharp silhouette against the soft, fading light of early evening. Below, freshly irrigated rows glisten with moisture, catching the last ambient glow before night fully sets in. Distant town lights begin to puncture the horizon, casting a warm, orange haze that contrasts with the cool blue tones of the encroaching dusk. Low-lying ground fog pools in the depressions between the crop rows, thick and still. The season feels transitional, marked by the heavy, earthy presence of the tool and the damp, fertile soil waiting for the next day's labor.
