Description of the sky view at the top of Mt Ruapehu (as shown in the image above), written by 13 year old Stella.
Space is known to be black
But this one’s a hundred shades of blue,
Colours stirred on a palette
Each shade a different mood.
Enveloping earth’s atmosphere
Streaks smear across the page
Two skies blended together.
From smooth to fleecy
Streaks of cotton insulate the air
Like stuffing from my last teddy bear
Everything perfect
Down to each intricate detail
The little specks of wonder
A vast view now surrounds the air
Painted with much care
Ombre colours washed through sky
High above the horizon
It is wondrous and wild
What nature can hold.
Celestial sphere? Or is it art?
Depends where you’re standing
