Weathered Thermometer Board in Uruguayan Feedlot

Galvanized metal strips and rough straw fill the foreground where a brooder thermometer board hangs against the dimming sky. Dust particles float in the mixed light of fading daylight and the emerging orange glow from a distant town. A coiled rubber hose rests beside reagent labels marked with faded ink, their white surfaces catching the last ambient reflection. Dry, brittle fibers of rope dangle from the mounting point, swaying slightly in the clearing air after the storm. The dry season leaves the ground beneath bare and cracked, while the barn light casts a cool, gray wash over the equipment. At the very bottom edge, one drop of condensation rests on the thermometer's glass tube, catching the distant city lights.
