Welsh Sheep Harness Rack in Winter Light

Early morning mist rests on the stone loading ramp of a Welsh stockyard as soft, overcast light falls through a brief sun shower. A wooden harness rack stands centered, its slats weathered gray by years of rain and wool dust. Behind the rack, a sheep waits patiently, its fleece heavy with moisture and marked with distinct handling tags visible on its ear. Sunlight breaks through the low clouds, casting long, slatted shadows across the wet concrete floor. The metal gates gleam with a thin sheen of water, reflecting the pale sky. one drop of rain hangs from the edge of the nearest wooden slat, poised to fall.
