endless sky

Horizon without limit

An endless sky stretches without apparent limit or boundary, suggesting vastness that overwhelms human scale.

The phrase evokes open landscapes—prairies, deserts, oceans—where the horizon seems impossibly distant: She stared up at the endless sky and felt small.

It carries romantic or contemplative overtones, appearing frequently in poetry, travel writing, and descriptions of wilderness.
