Golden Minaret Sunset Reflections Isfahan Prayer Wheel

by Lana Buck

Warm amber light from the setting sun floods the interior corridor, illuminating the intricate turquoise tilework of the prayer wheel station. A tall minaret rises beyond the open archway, its silhouette sharp against the deepening violet sky. Pools of golden sunset light reflect off the polished stone floor and the brass surfaces of the cylindrical prayer wheels lining the wall. The cool season air is suggested by the crisp clarity of the light and the heavy, dark shadows cast by the architectural ribs. Rows of prayer wheels stand in orderly silence, their metallic surfaces catching the last rays of daylight. One beam of light falls across the edge of a carved wooden handle, highlighting the grain and the dust motes suspended in the warm glow.
