Description When his consciousness began to unfold into the bleak landscape, the Traveler thought he had erred in setting the coordinates, but as he stilled his mind he became aware of the immense power and energy feeding into the silence. The pulsating light of the orb revealed a myriad of fractures in the fabric of space-time, and he suddenly knew, with absolute certainty, that this remote desert on this small, insignificant planet near the edge of the spiral arm was fundamental to the transdimensional web of interconnectivity between all sentient beings in the galaxy. 

My first new image for quite a while. The Traveler is the mage who first appeared in Stardust

Thanks Debbie. I need to revisit the Traveler (and some of his more exotic destinations).

OK, I'll have to put out a trace on him and ask him to send back some snapshots...

Amazing how you got both strong lights to work so well together,as composition and in creating a mood. Awesome.

love the mood and how you managed to make that small human in that immense nature still the focus of the image.

Thanks Psyxis! I think there may be links to some of your worlds through the traveler's space-time fractures...

A nice image that complements the concise and well written background story.

Thanks so much! Often the images arise out of the story snippets, but in this instance the *possibilities* of the location became apparent once the traveler illuminated the fractured landscape.
