Raked Zen Garden in Reno Nave

Golden autumn leaves scatter across the floor of a wide nave in Reno, framing a meticulously raked Zen garden drawn in concentric circles. Stained glass windows cast patches of amber, violet, and deep blue light onto the smooth, pale sand. The raked lines create a hypnotic texture that contrasts with the rough, fallen foliage drifting nearby. Bright midmorning light falls through the colored panes, illuminating dust motes that hang suspended above the sand. Muted reflections of the windows stretch along the polished floorboards beside the garden. One fallen maple leaf rests on the outermost white ridge of the sand pattern.
