Zen Monk Sweeping Leaves as Smoke Falls Downward in in Bobo-Dioulasso

Zen Monk Sweeping Leaves as Smoke Falls Downward

by Jeremiah McFarland

Thick, dark smoke hangs low over wet cobblestones, flowing downward like viscous liquid rather than rising into the sky. A Zen monk in simple robes sweeps fallen leaves across a stone courtyard in Bobo-Dioulasso during the wet season. First light of dawn spills golden rays through the humid air, illuminating droplets on green leaves and the monk's focused posture. The smoke pools in the foreground, creating a heavy, mirror-like surface that distorts the reflection of the temple eaves. Beside the monk, a wooden rake rests against a mossy wall, while the downward-flowing vapor rests on the ground, defying gravity. at the edge shows a single leaf caught in the liquid smoke, suspended mid-fall.
