This year’s Dark Sky Festival in the Sequoia National Park was quite a busy event this time around; good for them! Whilst waiting for the crowd to die down, it was better to just drive and hike around the area and to enjoy nature in silence and in darkness. Turns out the forest takes on a completely different form in the dark, with even the tiniest of lights providing an eerie vibe to the forest.

Almost looks like a UFO just landed.
