Ghost Road

Poul Anderson, New America, "The Queen of Air and Darkness."

The Milky Way as seen by a human child brought up by Rolandic natives:

"...the stars...crowded heaven, and Ghost Road shone among them as if it, like the leafage beneath, were paved with dew." (p. 186)

And the Milky Way has been called the Ghost Bridge before. See The Milky Way, which was the first part of our lengthy Milky Way Thread.

Kaor, Paul!

That picture of the stars/Milky Way with what looks like the outlines of palm trees reminded me of how STARRY the nights were in Hawaii.
