Afternoon light so bright it erases detail, falling on pale stone. The stone is close enough to touch. The light is almost white, almost painful to look at directly, not a gentle thing, but a weight that presses. Everything else recedes into that brightness. No shadow. No figure. Just the stone taking the light and giving it back, the air itself nearly visible in the glare.
