Beneath the full moon's haunting glow, the Northern lights dance above the island of Andoya, Andoeya, in Norway. The ominous sky is painted with hues of red and green, mirrored in the tranquil waters. Ravens, the harbingers of Wotan, perch on the shore, their dark silhouettes adding to the ominous atmosphere. Fricka's anger brews as she approaches, illustrated in the tempestuous clouds above. Sir George Pocock's oil painting captures the transient effect of a storm's aftermath. The Ravens, the Rainbow, and the Showery June are but fleeting moments in time, as are Capel Curig's misty landscapes and Dunkirk's tumultuous seas. The ominous sky, ever-changing, is a reminder of the ephemeral beauty of nature.
