Stars in numbers far greater than I could have possibly imagined seeing with the naked eye burst forth against the dark swath of space. It's unbelievable. I have spent hours staring at that extraordinary sight. As trite as it sounds, that experience truly does make me ponder my own (and everyone's) existence.
This is my humble creative offering in honor of that experience. For those of you living in a city (like me), hopefully this will hold you over until your next opportunity to enjoy the night sky in its most magnificent state.

Hey Nathanael! You are so right. The sky, unhindered by the city lights is so breathtaking! Sometimes we go about our routines and don't take the time to see the beauty and wonders that god has blessed us with. I'm so glad that he opened my eyes about 11 years ago! I love the colors in this illo... and the little girl with her pet are wonderful characters.... even from behind!!! Nice work my friend!
Great stuff Nathanael!
I'll never forget being trapped in NYC during the Blackout,
and actually being able to see all the stars, right from 72nd street!
and thinking to myself "when the heck was the last time someone was able to do this...?"
Keep it up...
Thank you, Jack! Indeed, the beauty all around us is vast and relentless. It's important to pay attention.
