Filmmaker Harun Mehmedinovic a few days ago uploaded this stunning time-lapse video of storms and the nighttime skies over Route 66 in California’s Mojave Desert.
If you watch this on a personal computer, I advise you watch it in full-screen mode to get the full effect.

More about Mehmedinovic’s project:
This video, which premiered on BBC Earth, was filmed as part of SKYGLOW, an ongoing crowdfunded quest to explore the effects and dangers of urban light pollution in contrast with some of the most incredible Dark Sky Preserves in North America. You can support SKYGLOW by visiting WWW.SKYGLOWPROJECT.COM
The film was shot and edited by Harun Mehmedinović on Canon 5DIII & 6D Cameras aided by Alpine Labs’ Michron, powered by Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini. The startrails were created using the rotation of Earth’s axis and STARSTAX. LRTimelapse was used to process some of the shots.
