Incense Burning on Stone Altar in Winter Kuwait

by Darlene Bravo

Vibrant streaks of amber and cobalt light wash over a rough-hewn stone altar base in a Kuwait City temple. Three thin coils of incense rest on the dark surface, releasing wisps of gray smoke that curl upward into the dim interior. The winter sun angles low through stained glass windows, casting geometric patches of colored illumination across the textured masonry. Soft reflections shimmer on the polished stone near the altar's edge. Dust particles hang suspended in the colored beams, settling slowly against the cool, gray winter air. The smoke trails drift lazily, blending with the shadows before vanishing into the higher, darker reaches of the room. One ember glows faintly at the tip of the nearest coil, casting a warm orange dot against the cool blue shadow.
