It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.
I have been on a path so very similar. Mr. C. from your wintry series, to the ice skakers, and now to this gem, you have given us a journey through Zeeland through the eyes of an artist.
It looks like the woods and grasses are on fire Sea. Reminds me of the old Hank Williams classic. You have captured the light and the shadows very well. Not an easy thing to do.
Good health to you and your.
