Photo of Wildfire at National Park Galicica and Perseid Meteor

Tonight at around 12:40 am I snapped a picture of a Perseid Meteor and the wildfire from National Park Galicica - photographed from Village Trpejca, Ohrid. Today is the 10th day since the wildfire started on the mountain.

Tonight, while photographing the fire, a bright meteor suddenly streaked across the sky - I knew I had captured a historic moment. The wildfire is getting worse, slowly approaching populated areas.

Every day, we hear planes flying to the mountain, drawing water from Lake Ohrid and dropping it on the fire.
Tomorrow we expect more planes and people to join the effort to stop it.
