Stone Carver Chisels Temple Relief at Shanghai Market Sunset
by Maurice Kemp
Golden sunset light spills across a narrow market lane in Shanghai, illuminating the back of a stone carver as he works on a temple relief. Dust particles shimmer in the heat haze that rises from the warm stone, blurring the edges of the carved figures. The carver's hands grip a chisel and mallet, striking the surface with rhythmic precision. Surrounding stalls display woven baskets and ceramic wares, their colors deepened by the fading daylight. Shadows stretch long across the cobblestones, against the bright orange glow of the sky visible between the alley buildings. The texture of the weathered stone glows warmly where the tool removes chips of rock. One flake of white dust settles on the edge of the unfinished carving.
