Description
I woke with a start, from a dream, under a sea of stars.
My bed was in the middle of a field. Was I still dreaming?
The clouds raged silently by like an out of control river.
As the crickets resumed their song, I laid back down.
Crows flew across the nostalgic moon.
***
Combined parts of four cloud photos and a Starbits starfield for the background image. Then applied the same image to the hand. Used "world front" mode and had to tweak almost every axis of scale, rotate and offset to get it lined up right.
Moon is a 2d image with a parallel light on it. My lo-res trees.
