Moonlight softens the desert like a heavy snow covers the starkness of a winter. Both are beautiful to the hungry eye.

I think this photo and poem is beautiful. I am an artist/writer and enjoy your artistic works. This further inspires me to paint the planets for the subject of one of my oils soon.
