Temple Courtyard in Luang Prabang

by Wilma Johnston

A novice monk in saffron robes sweeps the sun-bleached concrete courtyard of a Luang Prabang temple, his wooden broom pushing dust toward a drainage grate. The harsh noon light casts sharp, geometric shadows from the nearby stupa, illuminating the rough texture of his skin and the woven pattern of his mat. Beside him, a stack of folded plastic chairs sits unused, their bright blue frames against the earthy tones of the courtyard. A porcelain jar holding incense sticks stands near the temple entrance, its surface reflecting the intense daylight. The quiet rhythm of daily maintenance, grounded in the specific architectural details of the region, from the tiered roof eaves to the local paving stones.
