Star trails on a cold clear night

Christmas Eve (last night), I ventured outdoors at my family's residence in rural-Stark County, IL outside Kewanee, IL in hopes to do some star trail photography. It was nearly a perfect night for photographing some star trails to my liking. After sunset the cold crisp night took over and without any moonlight it was as simple as choose a location that would be a good photo-op and get the tripod set up. All of the shots I've added in this post were long exposures (about 30 minutes) with my Canon EOS 7D. I froze my butt off, but hey it was worth it! I've posted a few photos from last night below:
