It was an amazing experience watching the moon rise among the Joshua trees. I found this unique tree with no branches and was able to get this image with my telephoto lens.
There was really no clouds in the sky. So I was really surprised to get this much color in the sky. And yes the light is completely from the full moon rising.
A still from the star trails I did at Trona Pinnacles. I guess you may have to zoom in to see all the stars
