Spring Lettuce Harvest Workers in Berrechid

Dark, damp soil lines a tractor track where workers in long sleeves and head coverings clip heads of pale green lettuce into shallow plastic bins. The heavy overcast sky diffuses the light, creating soft, dappled patterns across the leaves and the workers' hands. Early spring air leaves the lettuce crisp and vibrant against the dark earth. The shallow bins sit in neat rows, filled with freshly cut greens. The workers move with practiced efficiency, their movements focused on the task. The scene is defined by the texture of the soil, the crispness of the lettuce leaves, and the muted tones of the overcast sky. A worker's hand rests on the rim of a bin, fingers stained with soil.
