Sunrise Wash Rack with Straw Trinidad

Pale morning light spills across a concrete wash pad where a metal nozzle rack stands heavy with rust and utility. Drifts of dry straw press against the concrete edges, caught in the low angle of the first rays. A windbreak and water trough frame the background, their surfaces catching the cool air of the season. Dust or steam hovers just above the pens, softening the hard lines of the infrastructure. Every surface shows the wear of constant use, from the peeling paint on the rack to the cracked pavement. A wet patch on the concrete reflects the pale sky near the base of the nozzle assembly.
