Up in Vermont for a few days. There’s hardly any snow on the ground but there is plenty of sky. Big Sky. It’s intimidating at first. Then, captivating. You can see the stars at night up here. I can’t remember the last time I looked into the sky at night as saw so many stars.
It was sunny today and cold. Starting in the early afternoon, I sat in front of a fire and looked out at Lake Champlain. Now, it’s late and the fire is still going so look at this:
My old painting buddy Kevin used to sigh in admiration and tell me, “Man, Modigliani painted the best babes.”
"You can see the stars at night up here. I can’t remember the last time I looked into the sky at night as saw so many stars."
Me too. Man, that's living, huh?
last time i had that thought - of soooo many stars in the sky - i was in murphy, nc. it's a beautiful mountain just a bit up from north georgia. it's only 2.5 hours from downtown atlanta. i was supposed to play there in december, but we got snowed out.
ironically, my gig in - downtown atlanta - got snowed out tonight! we didn't get much, but it snowed consistently for a solid 6+ hours and the streets were a bit slushy. for here, that's cause enough for the city to shut down. and it did just that.
as for the depiction in the artistry above, let's just say i've seen a lot more snow in the south than that, in recent vintage. oy. : /
baseball looms!!! : )
The further away you get from the metro NY area (or any metro area for that matter) the more likely you are to see the stars.
Used to see them all the time when I attended SUNY Brockport. Saw my first meteor shower when I was up there.
