At dusk, the Qolsharif Mosque stands illuminated in white and pink, with turquoise domes and minarets. Below the mosque, a wide, grassy area hosts a crowd of people, some sitting, others standing and walking. A streetlamp and a few benches are scattered in the foreground. Light is projected onto the wall beneath the mosque. A boy in a blue shirt walks in the foreground. The sky is darkening, a deep blue.
