In secrets it lays
Shaving his clothes with the sharp rays of the sun
Coldness surrounds him but his thoughts are warm
Not aware of what he really is, but aware of what he's not
The prodigy waits, in secrets it lays

Taken inside "Hamam El-Basha bathhouse", Akko, israel. In early morning hour while the sunlight was breaking through the roof into the steam. I was lucky to be there at this timing.

Hamam al Basha (the Turkish bath)

A public bathhouse that was built by El-Jazar in the year 1795 in the format of the Oriental bathhouses that were common in the Turkish Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries.

The bathhouse has an entry room that serves as a dressing room, with a marble fountain in the center. A corridor leads from the entry room to a series of hot rooms, the last of which is a hexagonal steam room, with a domed roof supported by four marble columns, with four rooms for individual use, one at each corner.
The bathhouse building is an elegant one and is adorned with marble floors and imported ceramic tiles.

The colours and textures in this photo (which all things beside is utterly beautiful to perfection) reminds me of the Ashes and Snow collection! [link]
