These photographs look more like a painting of the night's sky by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, but in fact they are taken by photographer Vincent Brady, who managed to capture these dazzling images using a custom rig of four cameras - each with a fish eye lens to give a 360 degree view.
He managed to achieve a series of images that show the paths that the stars etch through the sky above some of the most beautiful landscapes in the United States.
By combining the images taken by the four cameras together he was able to create pictures that take on an almost surreal quality.
The technique has also enabled him to produce real pictures that bear a striking resemblance to van Gogh's masterpiece Starry Night.
Brady set each camera to take photographs continuously for around three hours with exposures of around one minute.
Each camera produces between 100 and 200 images. Brady then edits the images from the four separate cameras to combine them into star trails.
He then stitches the resulting four images together to make seamless star trails that he calls Planetary Panoramas.
Each image shows how the stars appear to rotate around the North Star.
Among the locations he has taken photos are the Delicate Arch in Utah, Devils Tower in Wyoming, Monument Valley in Arizona, and Logan Pass at Glacier National Park.
'I typically but not always setup just before sundown and take a few photos while sunlight is still present and blend in these shots with the night scene to bring out some details in the elements,’ he said.
