This was a shot to take in three days of clear before the winter clouds and rain came in. As I was watching the images come in and stack I kept thinking I know this form. It took me two days of thinking (getting old) to work out yes this was so much the same as my high school arts lesson. The Girl with the Pearl Earring By Vermeer.



The face is turned a little differently but its almost Ghostly the similarity other than the missing star as an earring. The face is more profile than Vermeer's but so similar. Who ever said space has nothing to offer its boreing.

As this area is missing a lot of Oxygen this was shot as Ha SS.
