Author's Note: I have been watching this contest with interest, wishing I had the time to compose an entry. Unfortunately I have been too busy to seriously consider entering. However, my time freed up briefly last night, and I felt inspired! So, I put this together. It was as far as I could take it in an evening.
While it is nowhere close to the completed image in my mind's eye, I thought it turned out well enough to enter. If you like, feel free to select it and I will gladly complete it for you. :)
