Explore surreal nighttime photography capturing the beauty of North Dakota's landscapes and urban scenes.

It is hard to truly capture the beauty of the night through photography, but it can and has been done in North Dakota. Here are some awesome examples of nighttime photography in the state that are almost surreal. So cool!

1. A glowing shot of Bismarck on the horizon.

2. The painted canyons of Theodore Roosevelt National Park by night.

3. Surreal clouds over the USDA agricultural research center at NDSU.

4. The spooky, cloudy full moon captured in this shot taken near Bismarck.

5. A lit up chapel reflected over a pond in this late night photograph.

6. This great horned owl was perched on a tree in Fort Stevenson State Park in the middle of the night.

7. Nightlife and neons in downtown Fargo.

8. The last rays of the sun, already disappeared behind the horizon, reflect golden light off these clouds against the dark night sky.

9. Due to cold winter temperatures, light is diffused by frozen crystals to form these pillars of light - taken in Grand Forks.

10. Lightning from a late North Dakotan summer storm well past midnight is caught in this spectacular shot.

It's an eerie kind of beautiful, but beautiful nonetheless. If you have any photographs like these of North Dakota, feel free to submit them to the Only In North Dakota Facebook page!
