Simple Sunday Picture Challenge Sees The Light With Tommy Richardsen!
Welcome to the CPC’s Simple Sunday Picture Challenge!
This week we feature a stunning photograph by Norwegian Tommy Richardsen.

He describes himself as a “hobbyist, pencil artist and photographer from northern Norway. For drawing I prefer realistic drawing, but would like to add a bit of fantasy to it as I progress. Living in a great place for landscape photography and also the northern lights, it`s rarely a dull day with the camera in hand.
“I am self taught ( if you count looking at tutorials on the internet then I am not ) and practice through learning, aspiring to become as good as I can be.”

His forte is spectacular sunsets and night views of Northern lights.
This one is his most recent, and is titled “Hometown.”
I hope this stirs your muse to write something bright and/or dark.
Above all as always on the CPC, our challenges try their best to encourage you to Be Creative and Have Fun!

Welcome to the Simple Sunday picture challenge! The image is supposed to be a lot larger than it is showing up on my screen, so I’ll be doing some adjusting momentarily. In the meantime you and your muse are free to make what you can of it!
THE NORTHERN LIGHT
*~*
As the light hits the northern spears
The northern lights
Brighter than day
So pretty in color it be
Bluest green
With a bit of white
Touchiest the ski in such a way
It makes day seem dark
And dark as if a halo
Gods Creation
Are is it man made from all its ash
The world is a beautiful place
And many new and different thing to see

ACROSS A CANVAS OF DREAMS
Within the magic
of a midnight sky,
mystical strains
heard by only a few
waltz across
a canvas of dreams
as ethereal notes
illuminate the night.
And as I watch them,
swirling,
twirling
their phosphorescent glow
transports me once again,
my heart enfolded
within their iridescent wings,
to that place usually
so far out of reach
within the light of the day,
where crystalline castles
emerge from the darkness
of a northern polar sky,
illuminating the night
and transcending daylight,
wondrous and magical,
a new lightness to my step,
along the Borealis rainbow
visited mostly in my dreams.
