What tense is this sentence- Green fields are gone now, parched by the son.

'Green fields are gone now , parched by the sun.'
I know that the first past of the sentence is present simple as gone counted as an adjective but then the word parched made me confused as it's in past form.

In above sentence which tense is being used?

Both 'gone' and 'parched' are third forms (past participles) functioning adjectivally.
