 Fast clouds, slow stars and an even slower truck. This 1950s US Department of Defense dump truck permanently resides in a tumbleweed infested desert.

This was shot during a 3 minute, 5 second exposure during a full moon coming in and out of fast moving clouds. During the exposure, the interior of the truck was illuminated with a Coleman camping lantern covered in a blue filter. The headlamps were illuminated with quick bursts from an LED flashlight.

Only hot pixels removed, slight unsharp mask and slight crop.
