雪明かり照らす町 . Is there a missing を?


Could someone explain this sentence to me?

> 雪明かり照らす町

Google translates this as:

> The town illuminated by snow

For my part, I would translate it as:

> The town illuminating snow-brightness.

Or

> The town that illuminates snow-brightness.

Note, however, that my translation assumes a を particle has been omitted. Am I
on the right track? Or am I missing something?




I suggest you think of rewriting this in a different word order as:

[code]

    雪の明かりが町を照らす
    
[/code]

Does that help?

But 雪明かり is already a word meaning "light of the snow" or "the illumination
from the snow".

The idea is that this is a town _which the snow illuminates._
