By moonlight, Skip sees:
cultivated fields
a stream
cottonwoods
sagebrush
boulders
a rabbit
an owl
"...majestic mountains." (p. 8)
"Skip felt his irreverent heart uplifted. The night was so huge and holy." (ibid.)
We remember:
Poul Anderson presents not only technological futures but also an appreciation of the natural world, past, present and future.
The "huge and holy night" is my time to turn to other reading.

Kaor, Paul!
I'm reminded of the huge, bright, shining, night time skies of Hawaii.
Ad astra! Sean
