A warm windy night, waves lapping against the shore and peaceful silence - A perfect recipe for viewing nature’s best fireworks of the year. It was a roller coaster of a night which started with a fireball greeting us as soon as we stepped out and ending in cloudy skies, but not before we saw at least 25-30 meteors and captured a few. The photographer in me was forgotten and the child in me was awakened looking at the shooting stars through the night.
