Joshua Tree National Park. 2:30am. I was about an hour into the park looking for interesting compositions to do some astrophotography. After some so-so attempts earlier, I continued further into the park. I just so happened to be where there werent any notable things around like the famous Joshua Trees or interesting rock formations. So, I thought: perhaps my car would make an interesting subject with its unique shape against the starry sky.

I could barely see anything out thereonly with that light and could see a little light pollution from I think Twenty Nine Palms. I left my headlight in the car to produce some sort of light source to bring viewer attention. It gave off this reflective magenta cast in the car that looks a lot like the color of the Milky Way centerAt least I found it interesting.

What a unique placeAn exhausting but memorable two day visit to Joshua Tree has me wanting to come back for more.
