Chamomile Tea in Golden Window Light Rouen

Honey-colored sunlight floods a narrow windowsill, illuminating a simple ceramic mug filled with pale yellow chamomile tea. Outside the glass, a thin layer of frost rests on the rough stone sill, marking the chill of early spring in Rouen. The warm interior light casts soft, amber shadows across the wooden surface, against the cool blue-white ice patterns on the pane. Steam rises gently from the cup's surface, blurring slightly in the golden glow. A small crack in the glaze of the mug catches the light, revealing the porous clay beneath the white finish. The frost crystals form delicate fern-like structures along the bottom edge of the glass, distinct against the warm interior tones.
