Incense Smoke in Brussels Cathedral Neon Light

Thick ribbons of white incense smoke drift upward through the stone nave of a chapel in Brussels. The air glows with the soft, flickering orange of candlelight mixed with the cool, artificial blue and pink of neon signs reflecting off the damp stone walls. Early spring light filters faintly through high windows, against the deep shadows of the arches. Dust motes hang suspended in the warm candle beams, while the smoke curls in slow, deliberate patterns against the rough texture of the masonry. The floor reflects the scattered light sources, creating a mosaic of warm and cool tones on the worn stone. One wick burns low on a brass stand, casting a small, steady pool of amber light on the floor.
