From sunset to moonset, the stars slowly begin to shine... |
Sunset Star-Rise Sunset! A mystical, mythical Land of Cloud floats serene amongst the festival of colours ...pink mauve and orange. As the setting sun gives rise to the Moon the creamy stars begin to dot the dusky night sky. The Big Shiny Star rises first from its horizon-bed followed by a smaller second one... smaller, yet still bright the third arrives... and more and more... until the Big Dipper scoops up the Star-Milk and splashes it across the sky creating a splendid display never before seen by the harsh glare of a city bathed in artificial lights. Orange Crescent Moon begins high in the sky until it sinks behind the sun A challenging act to follow as it dazzles the watchers on the shore. Yes, it is now Moonset! The crescent moon is chasing after the noble glorious sun... We are left behind to admire a sky whose very darkness makes it possible for the beauteous, eternal stars to shine. |
