That's pretty surprising for 200ISO. I've never tried start trails, but I will this summer.

very nice and great colors! i tried something similar in Cappadocia, Turkey. [link] (11 minute exp.)
what nd filter did you use?

very nice you should have kept it open for longer, and I dont use filters

i figured 11 minutes without filters would overexpose the picture...
and i did not have enough patience for much longer exposure

It's what's known as a Star Trail. You set your camera up on a tripod and then use a manual shutter setting (called BULB on most cameras) so that you can get an exposure that is longer than a few moments. For example. this photographer used a 15 minute exposure, and this is what creates the blur. Because the earth is spinning the exposure captures the light moving but keeps the backdrop still.

Cool, they generally make pretty awesome photographs. I've not been able to do any photography as of late due my little Nikon being broken, need to buy a new one haha. I checked out your gallery, some pretty cool stuff on there!

haha, the D3000 is what replaced the D60 and the D40x (I have the D40x) I'm moving up to a pro camera now though, hence the D300s can't wait!
