One of the best Natures Show and for free.
First of all, I was planning to make a descent to Lagoa de Fogo but with the unstable local weather I didnt make any descent. I watched the sunset over there...its breathtaking. I was able to catch a first meteor: i«ve named it as Cosmic Tear in the Lake of Fire. After that I headed to other location, to Miradouro de Santa Iria - Ribeira Grande - São Miguel Island in Azores. And there, in the dark I made my choice of doing a Star Trail and at the same time catch some meteor and merge them together. So, I can do both things.
It was not my favourite location but the impredictability is part of photography.
Hope it can be enjoyable. For me it was magnificient to assist to such natures show.

Canon 60D, Lens Canon EF-10-22mm, several exposures.
