Starry Night Optical Illusion

Barbara, AKA Pandarine over on Flickr took the below illusion photo.

I love this photo. She did not add or remove anything from this image. This is a real photograph, although there is the possibility that she adjusted the color slightly for effect.

What do you think? How was this photo taken?

How did she capture this beautiful starry night sky?

Oh by the way there are no stars or snow in this photo.
