Trowel on Mekele Potting Table Morning Light

Cool gray light fills the workshop shelf in Mekele, illuminating a metal trowel resting flat on a rough flagstone potting table. The morning sun catches the curved edge of the tool, creating a sharp highlight against the matte stone. Behind the trowel, scattered plant tags and seed packets lie in soft focus, their paper surfaces slightly wrinkled from the humid rainy season air. Fine dust particles float in the shafts of light entering from the window, suspended in the stillness before sunrise. The flagstone surface shows deep pits and weathered edges, against the smooth, worn handle of the trowel. A faint shadow stretches across the stone, anchored by the weight of the tool.
