On the night of august 11th we camped outside by the redsea coast to watch the perseids meteor shower and try and capture some on camera .. turned out to be a challenging task despite the clear sky and the lovely weather on that night .. the meteors hit when i'm not looking or pointing the camera in a different direction .. but i was able to capture a couple of them and a faint trace of the milkyway and next to it the bright and beautiful andromeda galaxy, so not bad for a day's work :) .. i wish i was in a place with a much darker sky .. but may be next year !
