Description

Night of the peak of the Perseids meteor shower shot in Crater Lake NP, Oregon. The massive wildfires near Eugene brought some amount of smoke to the area, which I thought would ruin the night, but the smoke mostly dissipated after midnight and I think I like it in this shot as it brings a lot of atmosphere.

Crater Lake NP definitely had an unusual amount of traffic that night with lots of people coming to see the meteor shower. Decided to keep some of the lights from cars around the lake to make the foreground more lively. I also think they add a lot to the story here.

Was hoping to catch at least one really bright meteor that would light up the night sky and create a nice reflection in the water, but no dice.

Fantastic night at a beautiful location.
