Rustic Sunrise.

An early scenic morning in the township of Scenic, South Dakota.

Celestial celebration. As humans tucked in their warm cozy bed, the night sky was having a ball of its own.

Its around midnight, sky is filled with stars that appear so bright. A crescent moon has just risen in the badlands casting warm soft light on the tiny badlands' peaks. Milky Way dust lane is sweeping across the sky and a shooting star decides to drop by in one of the frame. One of my personal favorite nightscape.

The radiant glow of Badlands Night Sky.

This was how I celebrated my birthday, under a billion star hotel. Off to peace and solace, and closer with our stars. What better way to celebrate the day that you came into this earth!!
