Even with a fairly wide angle 20mm lens, it's hard to capture all the meteors that shoot across the sky. This composite image, made of 340 individual shots of the north sky (albeit perhaps a bit too north, and not enough east) only capture a few faint meteors. I saw more with my naked eyes, but they were out of frame, oh well!
My goal here was to capture that cragly tree in the bottom of the image, but closer and at ground level. Problem: flooding in 2013 of the Old Man river in Lethbridge changed things down there, and the path that used to go on the west of that tree, is now on the east. I didn't feel like setting up in 3' tall brush...
Half way through the lapse, I heard something a little ways behind me. I turned around and shone my flashlight up on the coulee and saw three sets of green eyes looking back at me... hmm. I stood up, and shone the light around some more - they moved. Alas, only deer. :-)
So - this is Lethbridge's High Level Bridge, showered with stars.
