A Quiet Moment Among the Arches of Shakhrisabz

What struck me most about the Dorut Tilovat complex in Shakhrisabz was the arches — simple, graceful, and full of quiet character. This black-and-white shot captures the rhythm of those hallways, designed for calm and reflection.

The complex, meaning "Place of Reflection," was built in the 14th century by Timur (Tamerlane) to honor his spiritual teacher, Shamsiddin Kulal. Over time, it became a burial site for key figures in his family, including his eldest son, Jehangir.

Even with all its history, what stayed with me most was how quiet and peaceful it felt. Standing in that hallway, I found myself slowing down—just looking, breathing, taking it all in. The simplicity of the space made it easy to focus, to pause, and to appreciate where I was.

Books, Shabbat Candles, and a Menorah: A Place I Call Home

A small window into my sanctuary.

Books line the radiator shelf, from war photography and philosophy to fiction, poetry, and memory. Between them, a pair of Shabbat candles stands ready for Friday night. Off to the left: a Hanukkah menorah, its base heavy with history and tradition, now quiet after last winter’s lights.

Houseplants lean toward the night-glow, a salt lamp softens the edges, and reflections of the kitchen echo gently in the dark glass. This is where I rest. Where I reflect. Where ritual and routine meet.

A still moment from an ordinary evening in Espoo, Finland, shot handheld on the Canon 1D X Mark II with a wide aperture to let the atmosphere breathe.

Arquitectura del silencio.

Basilica Hispanoaméricana de La Merced. Arquitectos: Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza y Luis Laorga. Durante varios años viví enfrente de esta basílica , fui bastantes veces a misa y hasta esta visita no vi la belleza del templo. Gracias a la fotografía veo cosas que antes no percibía. Es un gran regalo para disfrutar y sentir.

Through time and tradition: a priest enters Svetitskhoveli

Mtskheta, located just 20 kilometers from Tbilisi, is one of the oldest cities in Georgia and is considered the spiritual capital of the country. This charming city is located at the confluence of the Mtkvari Kura and Aragvi rivers and is known for its rich history. The imposing Svetitskhoveli Cathedral stands in the center of the city and was built between 1010 and 1029, is a masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main entrance to Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is as impressive as the sanctuary itself. Situated on the western side of the walled church complex in Mtskheta, this gateway marks the beginning of a spiritual and historical journey. The entrance is surrounded by a massive stone wall that encloses the entire cathedral complex — like stepping into a fortress. The gateway has a semicircular arch, with simple but powerful ornamentation, and is flanked by pillars. The door itself is often made of dark wood with iron fittings, evoking an ancient atmosphere. As soon as you step through the gate, the atmosphere immediately changes: you go from the bustling square to a sacred courtyard, with a view of the imposing cathedral and the tranquility of the church square. This transition is both symbolic and tangible — as if you are literally entering another world. The main entrance is often the setting for traditional weddings, religious processions and holidays. Brides and grooms walk through this gate, accompanied by family and priests, to their church blessing. Pilgrims and tourists also pass by here, often with a candle in their hands. The stones under your feet, worn smooth by centuries of footsteps, tell as many stories as the walls around you.

The priest walks towards the entrance gate of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, located in the spiritual capital of Mtskheta. In front of him, the wall stretches around the cathedral, whose ancient stones tell stories about the rich history of the city. Behind that wall rises the imposing cathedral, whose medieval architecture forms a beautiful contrast with the colorful shops along the street. Surrounded by sunlight, he walks on, feeling the ancient soul of Mtskheta.

Mtskheta, gelegen op slechts 20 kilometer van Tbilisi, is één van de oudste steden van Georgië en wordt beschouwd als de spirituele hoofdstad van het land. Deze charmante stad ligt aan de samenvloeiing van de rivieren Mtkvari Kura en Aragvi, en staat bekend om haar rijke geschiedenis. De imposante Svetitskhoveli-kathedraal staat midden in de stad en is gebouwd tussen 1010 en 1029, is een meesterwerk van middeleeuwse Georgische architectuur en staat op de UNESCO Werelderfgoedlijst. De hoofdingang van de Svetitskhoveli-kathedraal is even indrukwekkend als het heiligdom zelf. Gelegen aan de westzijde van het ommuurde kerkcomplex in Mtskheta, vormt deze toegangspoort het begin van een spirituele en historische reis. De ingang is omgeven door een massieve stenen muur die het hele kathedraalcomplex omsluit — alsof je een vesting binnenstapt. De toegangspoort heeft een halfronde boog, met eenvoudige maar krachtige ornamenten, en wordt geflankeerd door pilaren. De deur zelf is vaak van donker hout met ijzeren beslag, wat een eeuwenoude sfeer oproept. Zodra je door de poort stapt, verandert de sfeer onmiddellijk: je gaat van het levendige plein naar een heilige binnenplaats, met zicht op de imposante kathedraal en de rust van het kerkplein. Deze overgang is symbolisch én voelbaar — alsof je letterlijk een andere wereld binnenloopt. De hoofdingang is vaak het decor voor traditionele huwelijken, religieuze processies en feestdagen. Bruidsparen lopen onder begeleiding van familie en priesters door deze poort naar hun kerkelijke inzegening. Ook pelgrims en toeristen passeren hier, vaak met een kaars in de hand. De stenen onder je voeten, gladgelopen door eeuwen aan voetstappen, vertellen net zo veel verhalen als de muren om je heen.
