Perseid meteor shower

Every year I try to watch a few meteor showers. This year the conditions for the Perseids, in August, were exceptionally good. I managed to get out a each evening and do some viewing and even snap some pictures.

Here's my favorite picture of a meteor, perhaps a fireball, streaking across the sky North of Montreal.
