Growing up in the flatland, far from the big city, the tallest building in town was the grain elevator. You could see it for miles. Every Christmas they would put a star at the very top. Decades later, the star still gleams on frosty winter nights, a sign that welcomes home weary travelers as another star did years ago. Too see other skies check out Skywatch, a weekly meme of skies from around the world.

The star really stands out! Happy Skywatch.
Pretty. I like the star, the little lights that are lower, and the pretty, calm sky.
Nice photo. I like the soft colors against the dark buildings.
Oh, how well I understand...growing up a place like that, the star every year...
PS.Interesting blog you have. The wild turkey was great.
Nice to have a clear sign of home. It shows very brightly, even when it's not completely dark.
Wow, that looks so much like the place I grew up, it's eerie! Beautiful shot, Bev!
