North Woods Meteor

 With the passing of the yearly Persiade Meteor shower, the one frame I made of a meteor was in the North Woods of Ontario Canada, near Chapleau. In the deep, dark woods with thousands of mosquitos lurking I put my camera on the ground and used a flashlight to bring some color in the trees as the Milky Way framed between the tree tops. The exposure lasting up to half a minute gave me a chance at getting a frame or two with a streak from a passing speck of space dust or a pebble. Low and behold on the computer it shows up.
