Timelapse Video Shot During Meteor Shower in California

Talented filmmaker Henry Jun Wah has created this stunning timelapse video shot in Joshua Tree National Park and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest during the Perseid meteor shower in August. The three-minute film called Ascendance features ancient trees, lightning, rainbows, meteors, the Milky Way, and lots of stars. Make sure you hit fullscreen, then watch and feel awestruck. The music playing is Fields of Honor by Justin R. Durban.
Although designed and built for the prominent purpose of defense, today the castles seem like somewhat unrealistic constructions straight from the fairytale world. From solid strongholds to oriental fortresses and highly decorative palaces, the castles are our connection to the past, where legends mix with history and reality blends with a fairyland.
