Drive to Vegas. Photo by @babaktafreshi, The World at Night. While I explore dark starry skies and natural nights around the world, I also photograph #citylights and urban skies in comparison. Here 20 miles away from Las Vegas stars begin to return to the desert night sky of #Nevada. Clouds are strongly lit by the city and a bus is passing by in the time-exposure image. If you zoom in the Stratosphere Tower is visible rising above the city skyline to 1149ft (350m), the tallest observation tower in the US. @natgeocreative @natgeo #lightpollution #longexposure #vegas #drive #road #skyline
