Donkey Shelter Lot

A flat expanse of cracked pavement and compacted earth behind the Encanto town center, bathed in the golden haze of dusk. The air carries the dusty tang of dry vegetation and the faint metallic scent of old fencing. Luisa guides two donkeys into the lot with practiced ease, her posture shifting to support their weight as they protest the unfamiliar ground. Cattle panels form a temporary enclosure, their silhouettes sharp against the fading light. The boundary between the lot and the festival’s overflow seating blurs, the donkeys’ nervous movements punctuating the otherwise festive chaos from a distance.
