Starry Sky Over Stone Cairn at Xian Harbor in at a harbor quay near Xian

Starry Sky Over Stone Cairn at Xian Harbor

by Eden Riley

Early spring light falls through a thin layer of drizzle, softening the edges of a weathered stone cairn stacked near the Xian harbor quay. The stacked rocks display rough, mossy textures in shades of gray and ochre, damp from the falling moisture. Above, a darkening vault of stars pierces the twilight sky, their points sharp against the humid air. The low angle view emphasizes the height of the stone pile against the vastness of the night. Water droplets rest on the uneven surfaces of the rocks, catching the faint starlight. One wet stone in the foreground reflects the distant constellations with a mirror-like sheen.
