Shallura Week 2020 Day 1: Sky

this is Tanabata Festival, and idea given to me by @imjustheretoseetheprivateblogs

“The stars – Vega, Altair and Deneb – are among the brightest distant suns visible with the naked eye. In Japanese lore, Vega is identified with the Sky King’s daughter Orihime, the Weaving Princess; and Altair with Hikoboshi, the Cow Herder. At nightfall, when darkness is complete, the Silver River (Milky Way) courses between them. The enchanting and heart-rending tale spun about Orihime and Hikoboshi is the basis for Tanabata, or Star Festival.”
