Cedar Sextant on Stone Shelf

by Breanna Blair

Warm cedar grain runs across the curved arms of a sextant resting on a rough-hewn stone shelf. North-window sidelight cuts a sharp diagonal across the instrument, highlighting the brass fittings and the smooth, worn surface of the wood. Beside the sextant, folded notes in cream and pale blue lie in a neat stack, their edges catching the flat glare of noon. Fine dust particles float in the visible shafts of light, suspended between the stone and the wooden workbench below. The cool season light leaves the stone cool and gray, against the amber tones of the cedar. A thin shadow falls along the base of the folded paper, anchoring the objects to the shelf. The brass pivot point gleams with a sharp, metallic reflection against the matte wood.
