Swordsmith Quenching Blade in Bingerville Prayer Hall
by Gladys Nixon
Soft, diffused light from heavy monsoon clouds falls through high windows of a prayer hall in Bingerville, illuminating a swordsmith standing before a shallow water trough. The smith holds a glowing red blade, lowering it into the dark water where a violent burst of steam rises in thick white plumes. Wet stone floors reflect the grey sky, and rain-slicked surfaces glisten under the subdued afternoon glow. Wooden pillars frame the background, while the foreground blurs into soft circles of green and grey bokeh. The steam curls upward, momentarily obscuring the smith's focused posture as the metal cools. A final droplet of water slides down the side of the trough, catching the light.
