You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life.
Beautiful. I wondered that, too: why 'Sleepers'? It seems, after all, a bit bright for that.
But I rather like the idea. I can see a planet, a solar system... around some of the planets, brightly lit artificial satellites or massive space stations orbit. The planets are deserted, dead and silent. The silent, brilliant islands in the sky orbit year after year, their occupants not dead... not dead but sleeping. Waiting, perhas, but for what? For a signal from the long dead planets? For a long-extinguished sign of life from below? For what are they drifting seemingly endlessly through time and space?
I like the title - gives this an eery meaning, a shadow of danger and a mystery from the depths of space.
