Weathered Sheep Gate Latch Montana After Rain

Rust-stained steel latch mechanisms sit mounted on a gray wooden board, positioned near a metal water trough and a windbreak line. Late afternoon sun breaks through thin clouds, casting soft, diffused shadows across the wet ground. Raindrops rest on the rough wood grain and drip from the metal edges of the latch. The surrounding grass shows early summer green mixed with patches of mud churned by hooves. A faint rainbow arches in the mist above the trough. The metal hardware reflects the pale sky while the wood retains a dull, waterlogged texture. one drop of water hangs from the corner of the latch before falling.
