Incense Smoke in Winter Cathedral Light in along a monastery corridor in Shymkent

Incense Smoke in Winter Cathedral Light

by Norman McDaniel

Honey-colored light floods the monastery corridor in Shymkent, cutting through the cold winter air to illuminate floating dust particles. Wisps of gray incense smoke curl upward from a brazier, twisting through the vertical shafts of illumination. The nave stretches into the distance with perfect symmetry, flanked by stone pillars that cast long, soft shadows across the floor. The low angle of the setting sun highlights the rough texture of the ancient walls and the delicate, drifting tendrils of smoke. One beam of light catches a floating mote near the base of a wooden icon stand, marking the quiet boundary between the warm glow and the deepening shadows of the winter evening.
