The Night The Stars Fell

0.0 x 0.0

Unlike any other winter I know of, the winter in northern Idaho has captured my imagination. Here, the clear winter night is breathtaking; a magical view showing thousands of twinkling stars. In “The Night The Stars Fell,” I wish to portray how on nights when a bright distant moon lights on falling snowflakes, they may appear very much like the stars themselves and seemingly dance and play amongst them. At such a moment, these whimsical sights tantalize my imagination and it is possible to view the mingling white clusters of flakes and stars as if they are just the stars falling gently to the earth from their wide strips of blackened sky, silently settling on the belts of darkened ground between glowing blankets of white snow.
