Upward Rain on Weld Blanket Roll Dawn

Deep shadows swallow the muddy access road in Washington while a blue-gray dawn light carves sharp edges along a heavy weld blanket roll. A punch-list hangs from the rigging, its paper edges frayed by the late autumn chill. Silver streaks of rain defy gravity, shooting upward from the wet ground toward the overcast sky. The fog clings low to the mud, softening the distant horizon but leaving the textures of the steel and wet canvas crisp. Converging lines of the road pull toward a vanishing point where the impossible precipitation meets the industrial rigging. one drop of water rests on the edge of the blanket, suspended against the gray light.
