Tiny Red Strawberries on Grocer Counter Prizren

Clusters of tiny red wild strawberries rest directly on a worn wooden grocer's counter, their green calyxes contrasting against the warm, shadowed grain. Behind the fruit, brown paper sacks stack in uneven towers, their creased surfaces catching the soft, diffused light of an overcast afternoon. The dry season air leaves the leaves crisp and the wood matte, with no gloss reflecting the dim interior. Shadows fall deep into the gaps between the sacks, creating pockets of darkness that frame the bright red berries. One berry near the edge of the frame shows a tiny white highlight on its skin, showing the rough texture of the paper beside it.
