I did think about these showers on the 12th! But the clouds prevented me from sitting out all night to catch one and wish upon it for a lucky spell.

Your photo is absolutely spectacular! Not a sky I'd ever get to see from my geolocation, but it sure does help to create a new inter-location where eyes pierce the darkness to look out for signs of majestic long-gone reality. That is to say, the meteorite is pretty here and now real, unlike most of the other stellar light, I suppose.

I believe a meteor shower is very cleansing. It may ruffle a few feathers here and there but that is also a great way to get rid or irritating parasites.

Could you explain for me why it is so light in the picture which doesn't seem to hide an alien or ravenous wolf? What was the shutter speed/aperature? Tripod work, I presume, for sure?

Very breathtaking how many many stars, how very large your heavens are out there....I enjoy the silence roaring through this sphere of living consciousness.
