I wanted to give the reader a sense of loneliness. There is absolutely no one awake, and with our neighbors being further away than most people you feel pretty isolated at that hour. This is why I excluded any dialog or sound because it is tremendously quiet. It's also dark. Really dark. The rural area lacks much for street lights save the one at the end of our driveway. But you can see the stars forever, so there are some nice benefits.
Wow, dude. Amazing, as always. I can really sense the loneliness and how isolated it is... and again, I love your art style!! Well done, sucks you have to actually get up that early in real life...

ReplyDeleteYou capture the scene so well, and evoke many (now fond) memories of when I was your age getting up @ 3:30am to do the milking. It was so hard (tired; early; cold) and yet in another way so wonderful (quiet; beautiful; refreshing) to experience the early morning, the stars, the emergence of a new day. Looking back I realize how much of a privilege it was to experience so many dawns as God intended them to be. This is great stuff!
