Taillights on Ridge Under Starry Sky in beneath a dark-sky overlook near La Paz

Taillights on Ridge Under Starry Sky

by Donald Day

Deep indigo night stretches over the rugged Andean ridge near La Paz, where a winding road cuts through the darkness. A line of red taillights from a train or convoy moves along the curve, creating streaks of crimson against the cool stone. Above, a dense field of stars dominates the sky, punctuated by one exceptionally bright point that glows with intense white light. Dramatic clouds swirl in the upper left, their edges sharp against the starlight. The cold, pre-dawn air is visible in the stillness of the landscape and the crisp definition of the distant peaks. The red glow of the lights reflects faintly on the asphalt, against the blue shadows of the mountainside. One bright star hangs low above the highest ridge line.
