Stars shine brightly through the canopy of branches, leafless on a warm Summer’s evening. The ground around is parched and dry, yet the trees, all of these trees in this wood, look more suited to a Winter’s scene.
There are leaves, scattered here and there, but they are outnumbered by the volume of stars above them. In fact, they’re outnumbered by the number of owls that use the branches as resting places or lookout points for their night’s hunting.
Unlike the stars, the owls aren’t visible.
And unlike the owls, the stars aren’t audible.
The stars cast shadows across the darkened earth creating the appearance of even more bare branches, and the owls send echoes throughout wood, appearing to multiply their number.
Each fill the scene in their own different way, balancing light and sound in a way that makes Eerie Wood… special. Special in an eerie way, that is!
