Perseid Meteor Shower over Bragg Creek

Desirée and I went out to look for shooting stars last night for our favorite meteor shower of the year. The Perseids didn’t let us down and we saw a couple dozen on either side of midnight west of Bragg Creek.

The Milky Way stood out against the deep night and I was lucky to catch a few crossing that incredible arch.

Sat on a beach with friends and watched part of the show, some at horizon and some across the whole sky, but no success with photos. What a joy to see the Milky Way again amid the sounds of Great Horned Owls and Coyotes! Seeing your photos is a real treat! Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see the Perseids, because here has been clouds every night and no possible to see them.
