Perseid Meteor Shower

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “I’m currently on a offshore assignment in Denmark and I wasn’t sure I will be inland by this year’s Perseids peak night. To my good fortune, there was a delay in the project so I only had to find a dark spot to enjoy the meteor shower. Luck stroke again and I found a spot just 45min away near the town of Blåvand in the west cost of Denmark. To my surprise, even with light beam from the lighthouse, the location was dark enough to see the full Milky way with the naked eye. The photo is just a small example of the great night I had in this location, spotting more than 30 bright meteors in the 4hrs span I spent there.”
