Imagine a garden where everything came alive at Midnight, when the flowers awoke and started to dance under moon and star light, beautiful and mysterious continuing onto the dawn.
A mystical journey through a garden at night which is also a journey through the subconscious mind of the dreamer, the garden is symbolic of the magical dream-world encountered in sleep. The garden is real but kissed by moonlight it is still and calm but there are hints of 'otherworldly' things, not frightening or disturbing, rather thought provoking. Time and space are distorted in a way which makes the viewer think differently.
From Dreams Of Diamonds by James A Whittaker
What if you slept? And what if in your sleep,
you dreamed? And what if, in your dream,
you went to heaven and there plucked a
strange and beautiful flower? And what if,
when you awoke, you held the flower in your hand.

Don’t let appearances fool you, there’s always only one reality
From 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
As the sun sinks and pulls the multi-colour of day with her, we transition into a momentary world, devoid of all colour. The fade to monochrome is almost imperceptible, blink and it has happened. Yet if the sky is clear and the moon bright, the shades and pigment of daylight are swiftly reborn into an other-worldly palette of star-struck, moonlit colour of richness and splendour which glows against a background of endless, midnight sky. A canopy of stars illuminates shades so lively, deep and gleaming, that they resonate with an enticing nocturnal luminosity. Colour this exceptional simply cannot be replicated during daylight. Together with this change comes a mirage of dreams and imaginings of the night.

THE LIGHT OF THE DARK by Roberta Edwards
In landscape and sky all is uncertainty
and change but we remain forever optimistic
that everything that continues to follow
still contains the wonders of the elements
and Mother Nature at her most magnificent.
