Kettle Steam Curling Past Winter Geraniums

Warm candlelight spills across a clean kitchen counter near Multan, illuminating the white ceramic spout of a kettle. Wisps of steam rise and curl, catching the soft glow before dissolving into the predawn darkness. Behind the vessel, a window frame holds a row of potted geraniums, their deep green leaves and red blooms standing out against the black glass. The room remains still, with smooth surfaces reflecting the limited light. Negative space surrounds the central cluster of steam and plants, showing the quiet restraint of the morning hour. A faint reflection of the candle flame dances on the wet rim of the kettle.
