Starry starry night

It is the most stunning starry night. I came back from my art class tonight and just stood looking up at the sky. And the longer I looked the more stars there were. Scattered like diamonds on velvet, thousands of them, thousands of miles away. It makes you feel very small and not terribly significant. It isn't too cold either so it just feels calm and beautiful. I like the way the sky looks on a night like this, as if I am in some huge dome that spreads so far away. Van Gogh painted this stunning picture and on a night like tonight the stars have that swirliness and glitter high above the village.
