One meteor (shooting star) from the Perseids meteor shower on a summer night with a clear sky full of stars in the mountains, Canada

---

This is my best Perseids Meteor Shower image. It was taken in August 2015 at Forget Me Not Pond in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. Taking an image of a shooting star is very challenging. You have an idea of where in the sky there is a good chance to see one. However you set your camera and hope for the best. Sometimes you can spend hours and catch nothing. I was lucky!
