Warm Haze Aisle in South Dakota Poultry House

Copper-toned light floods the narrow aisle between metal feed lines, illuminating a thick suspension of dust and loose white feathers. The low angle perspective emphasizes the towering rows of equipment stretching into the distance, where early spring shadows lengthen across the concrete floor. Sunlight from an unseen opening pools on the metallic troughs, creating bright, reflective highlights that contrast with the muted gray of the machinery. Feathers drift slowly through the shafts of light, catching the fading dusk glow. Tiny particles dance in the beams, settling eventually on the rough edges of the feeders. One white feather rests against the rusted corner of a steel support beam.
