A Timelapse Ode to the Joshua Tree of the American Southwest

“Joshua” is a timelapse ode to the Joshua tree, the curiously-shaped tree that is found in parts of the American Southwest (including Joshua Tree National Park). The timelapse was created by photographer Sungjin Ahn over the course of a year.

The overall goal of this time lapse is to provide the beauty of Joshua trees that only live in the U.S. I thought it would be amazing If I can collect all the footages of Joshua trees with different weather condition like snowing , different type of clouds, sun, moon ,milky way,and meteor shower.
Joshua trees only live in western Arizona, southeastern California, southern Nevada, and southwestern Utah, which means that we can’t see this trees in different countries but only in America.
