Joshua trees in Death Valley, California
This moody, cosmic image of Joshua trees in Death Valley was created with a little light painting. As twilight made the sky dark enough to see the Milky Way, artificial light exposed the detail and texture of the trees in the foreground. Despite the name, Death Valley’s ecosystem is vibrant and alive, with hundreds of animal species and numerous drought- and heat-resistant plants thriving in the arid landscape.
