A serene yet ominous clearing in a misty evergreen forest on an overcast day is the stage of an impending human sacrifice. A tall ethereal woman in beautiful, but soiled and torn garments that once revealed her high social status, lies upon the flat surface of a lichen-covered, 2-foot high, granite altar gazing up in terror as a large druid-like bearded priest stands poised, center-shot, to strike her heart with a down-pointing dagger. She is securely bound by ropes and tied hand and foot. This dream scene takes place amidst a soft, blurred background of ethereal trees, with medium contrast and an emphasis on beautiful detail, as if captured in a frozen moment by a photograph.
