Monastery Rooftops Over Winter Valley Potala

by Nicole Patrick

Stone chapel interiors in Potala feature clean surfaces and restrained clutter under bright north-window sidelight. Early summer greenery contrasts with the heavy, textured stone walls. Leading lines from the architecture guide toward the open space. The light reveals dust motes settling on the polished floor and highlights the rough texture of the masonry. Shadows fall sharply across the threshold, defining the depth of the room. One beam of sunlight illuminates a small altar cloth, casting a crisp shadow against the adjacent wall.
