Santa's blue Christmas dream
A nearly clean VUE render with a little postwork :)
You may wish to zoom to enjoy the details.
Inspiration from two sources. From Christmas itself...
But also from fantastic duet i bumped into, when i was browsing for a Christmas song to accompany the image.
It is a duet with Elvis Presley and Celine Dion.
Despite the fact that Elvis died when Celine was 9 years old...
Technology brought them together in this fantastic video and song. The song is called: If i can dream.
The lyrics has a lot of noble Christmas wishes..
Love and peace amongst humans, are a few of them, just to mention...
The lyrics are written by Walter Earl Brown in the 60s.
With deep inspiration from Martin Luther King JR's legendary speech from 1963, called.. I have a dream.
Several passages in the lyrics are direct quotations by Martin Luther King JR.
Elvis recorded the song in June 1968, only a few months after Martin Luther King JR's assassination. The same year Celine Dion was born :)
Here is a fabulous version of the song and duet:

I hope to manage one more upload before the surgery.

Thanks for any comments and/or faves.
And...
Merry Christmas :)

I just got in and will check out these lyrics a little later, but Lars, this is one beautiful image---santa is almost on e rocket, a rocket-sleigh; and he seems independent of the reindeer, who are watching almost in awe at the fun antics of his christmas scooter...The reindeer are beautifully rendered, with a big red nose for one of them, and a beautiful winter-scape with beautiful blue waters. And a deep blue sky, with a moon whispering in the distance, and a touch of the aurora borealis also whispering across the sky. Very gentle touches. (And the land is lit beautifully from some out-of-frame source.) Beautiful work, and magical! Lars, all godspeed to you this January, and, as is said above, a hopeful christmas hug, lots of them, for your surgery. It's wonderful that you've shared all these 'visions' with us during this time, this one is magical and beautiful. I wish you great peace and comfort this holiday, and strength too for the month to come. This is a beautiful gift for us all...
