Very cool. Looks like some kind of "Time Tunnel" vortex!

Wow! This is close from the equator! Where was it taken?

well done

Thanks everyone. Yank, it actually isn't near the equator. I'm from Northern California, but the skies revolve around the north star which can be seen most anywhere. Thanks though.

OK, then the trees are higher than I thought
I thought the north star was actually near the horizon...

I suppose it kinda depends on where you are, the time of year, and the time of night. But yes they are tall trees. Thanks

great shot, well done.

Very dramatic, very interesting capture and love the mysterious mood of the scene

Romantic.

Cool.

Nice lighting, pretty shot
