Monk Tending Herb Garden at Ningbo Harbor

by Alan Baxter

Warm late-afternoon sunlight reflects off the harbor water, casting a soft glow across a walled monastery courtyard in Ningbo. A monk in simple brown robes kneels on the stone floor, his hands gently pruning small green herbs in raised clay pots. The clear sky above contrasts with the deep shadows under the low walls. Early winter air has left the leaves crisp and vibrant against the gray stone. The water ripples nearby, sending shimmering light patterns that dance across the monk's sleeves and the rough texture of the garden bed. A small wooden tool rests on the edge of a pot, its handle worn smooth by use.
