I saw this trail of shimmering light bokeh on an afternoon hike. It was lovely to see in person as each drop of light sparkled, just as a star in the night sky. I've done a lot of hiking in a forest near my home this year and will do a series of some of the images I've taken on my hikes.
Dreamy image, Danny. Loke your metaphor. I was listening to The Harvest by Ennio Morricone from "Days of Heaven" (which I haven't seen) and it seemed to be at one with your atmospheric image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyeLJ0AXmk
