Day 99: The Earthen Labyrinth

The ancient lanes of Yazd's Old Town told stories of the past as I walked through them today. The city's earthen buildings stood tall under the clear blue sky with windcatchers showcasing exceptional classic engineering to overcome the desert's fury.

The sun cast geometric shadows through the maze-like narrow streets on the mud-brick walls, shaping an organic canvas that altered with my every step. The beauty and cleverness of Yazd's buildings, a perfect mix of shape and purpose, were fascinating inspirations for my drawings.

It felt like the whole town was an open-air exhibit full of never-ending views to depict. The peacefulness of the Old Town, unlike the busy bazaars I saw elsewhere, gave the place a serene quality, as if the town was deep in thought. The far-off sound of prayer gave the place a religious touch.

As time passed, the sun turned gentle, illuminating the city in gold. This brought new light, showcasing fresh shades for the backdrop I witnessed before.

Yazd, with its exclusive mix of past, tradition, and structural design, was a sight to relish and an emotion to connect with. Today was a trip that took us not only through the streets of an old city but also through time, capturing moments that have survived for centuries.
