Rainbow Prism Light Through Fog on Paper

A triangular glass prism rests on a sheet of white paper, fracturing midday sunlight into a sharp spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The colors stretch across the matte surface, ending in a soft blur where they meet the damp texture of the paper. Surrounding the paper, low marine fog drifts through dry, scrubby vegetation near Nasiriyah, filtering the sun into dappled patches of bright gold and cool gray. The air appears clear of heavy rain but retains a visible salt-haze that softens the distant horizon. Dry leaves overhead cast intricate, moving shadows that dance across the white background. The prism itself shows tiny water droplets clinging to its edges, evidence of the recent storm clearing overhead. A distinct band of blue light ends abruptly against a dry, cracked leaf lying on the paper.
