13999527 - This is a panorama of the ground and sky framing the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with three dozen meteors from the annual Perseid meteor shower,of August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at far left. The location is the upper viewpoint near the Park Entrance,and looking northeast to southeast. The lights in the valley below are from the campground and service centre. The one glaring sodium vapour light should be removed or at least shielded. The brightest hori13899495 - The Geminid meteor shower of 2022, showing the radiant point in Gemini at left, above the stars Castor and Pollux. Orion is at lower right. Mars in Taurus is at top, to the left of Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluste, and below the Pleiades.13898623 - A composite of the Perseid meteor shower, on the peak night, Aug 11/12, 2016, looking northeast to the radiant point in Perseus left of centre, with the Pleiades and Hyades clusters in Taurus rising. There are 33 meteors here. Note the fairly consistent green to red tint of each meteor streak. A couple of streaks look more white and might be flaring satellites though their trajectory matches where a Perseid should be.13900411 - A composite showing the 2017 Geminid meteors streaking from the radiant point in Gemini at upper left, above the blue-white star Castor. 2 or 3 meteors are not Geminids as their paths do not project back to the radiant, but I have left them in regardless, as an illustration.13898560 - The Geminid meteor shower of 2022, showing the radiant point in Gemini at left, above Castor and Pollux. Orion is at lower right. Mars in Taurus is at top, to the left of Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster. The M44 Beehive star cluster is in the lower left corner. Small star clusters in Gemini (M35) and Auriga (M36, M37, M38) are at top.13999563 - The Geminid meteor shower of 2022,showing two bright Geminids leaving yellowish ion trails or "smoke" trains in their wake. The two meteors appeared about 45 minutes apart but are blended together here.13999319 - This is the Perseid meteor shower over the badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park,in the Red Deer River valley in Alberta,with the summer sky above filled with about two dozen meteors from the annual shower on August 12,2023. The meteors all appear to be streaking away from the radiant point in Perseus at left,below the "W" of Cassiopeia. The meteor trails are shortest near the radiant point,as at that location they are coming at us head on. The Andromeda Galaxy is near centre.13999274 - Two lone Lyrid meteors on the peak of the meteor shower night,April 22,2023. Two captured out of 342 frames taken over 2 hours. The sky and ground come from the exposure with the bright meteor on it,when a dim aurora was also on the northeast horizon. The bright meteor shows the classic green to pink gradient of colours. Vega and Lyra are rising at lower centre. Deneb and Cygnus are at left. Arcturus is at upper right.13900148 - A panorama of the northern stars in autumn over and reflected in the calm waters of Lake Edith in Jasper National Park, in the deep twilight. The Big Dipper and Ursa Major are at left, with Arcturus over Pyramid Mountain at far left. Capella is rising at right, and above it are the stars of Perseus and Cassiopeia. This was on a very clear mid-October night in 2022.13899263 - A composite of several exposures to stack images of five Geminid meteors into a wide view of the winter sky with Comet Wirtanen at upper right in Taurus, taken on December 12, 2018. The meteors are shooting away from the radiant point in Gemini near the bluish-white star Castor at left. The Milky Way runs vertically through the frame from Auriga at top to past Orion at bottom.13897964 - The 2016 Perseid meteor shower, in a view looking north to the Big Dipper and with the radiant point in Perseus at upper right, the point where the meteors appear to be streaking from. I shot this on the peak night of the shower, August 11/12 after moonset so the sky was dark and in fact filled with bright airglow, appearing here as bands of green and yellow, mixed with a low-level aurora to the north as well. While it looks like the sky has artificial light pollution, the glows here are natural, from aurora and airglow.13881274 - Sunburst over Lake Arbersee in the Bavarian Forest National Park; Bavaria, Germany71088244 - Woman leaning against wall, smiling, portrait71088230 - Friends spending lighthearted afternoon together outdoors71088227 - Woman leaning against tree trunk, smiling cheerfully, portrait71088191 - Children standing in wildlowers growing near beach71088186 - Woman, portrait71319545 - The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge at dusk, UNESCO World Heritage Site, Westminster, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe71088201 - Relaxing in the park with friends71088197 - Young couple embracing, touching foreheads71020041 - Little girl smiling, portrait71088232 - Friends spending weekend together outdoors70506629 - Woman holding bowl full of tomatoes on top of head71088241 - Family with one child, portrait71088229 - Young woman outdoors, portrait71088210 - Young couple spending time together in countryside71088206 - Woman resting head on tree trunk, eyes closed71020112 - Young woman leaning on elbows holding head, portrait71020020 - Woman's face, portrait70507108 - Young woman jumping in field, smiling71088207 - Woman leaning against tree trunk, smiling cheerfully71319497 - Colosseum at Christmas time, Rome, Lazio, Italy, Europe71088258 - Girlfriends posing for selfie71088205 - Woman smiling cheerfully outdoors, portrait71020046 - Little girl smiling outdoors, portrait71111493 - Young woman sitting on swing, portrait71110023 - Woman, portrait71110021 - Woman, portrait71083335 - Young woman smiling, portrait71083288 - Woman, portrait71083243 - Woman leaning against bannister, portrait71083239 - Young woman leaning against railing, smiling, portrait70508934 - Woman standing in sun, looking over shoulder70508881 - Young woman looking down and smiling, portrait70508757 - Young woman in pool, smiling at camera, portrait70508756 - Young woman standing in pool, holding out cupped hands, smiling at camera70508699 - Woman smiling70508679 - Couple together outdoors, portrait70508661 - Mature couple photographing themselves with photophone70508653 - Baby girl smiling, portrait70508634 - Baby girl smiling, portrait70508627 - Mother and young son lying on the ground together70508623 - Young woman driving convertible70508617 - Woman talking on cell phone, reflection in side-view mirror70508598 - Girl in costume at outdoor birthday party70508584 - Girl smiling happily at birthday party70508579 - Woman relaxing at home using laptop computer70508507 - Red haired woman smiling at camera, portrait70508483 - Mother and daughter cheek to cheek, both smiling at camera70508479 - Girl holding teddy bear, smiling at camera70508455 - Sister hugging her brother from behind, smiling at camera, portrait70508453 - Boy smiling at camera, head and shoulders, portrait70508450 - Female office worker, smiling over shoulder at camera70508430 - Teenage girl smiling at camera, hair tousled by breeze, portrait70508418 - Female smiling at camera, portrait70508409 - Toddler girl in snow, close-up, portrait70508370 - Woman applying sunscreen to arm on beach, side view70508322 - Boy smiling, children playing in background, on beach70508320 - Children playing on the beach70508310 - College students studying together70508298 - Mother lighting candles on birthday cake for girl70508222 - Woman's face seen through blades of grass70508210 - Young woman walking and looking back over shoulder, waist up70508192 - Woman touching face and smiling70508180 - Young woman with eyes closed and hands near face70508149 - Woman with bangs smiling, portrait70508097 - Two little girls standing side by side on beach70508078 - Young woman standing wrapped in towel, smiling at camera70508042 - Woman applying moisturizer beneath eye70508014 - Woman holding neck, smiling at camera70507967 - Group of people on beach70507904 - Woman's reflection in mirror, head and shoulders70507844 - Woman smiling, close-up70507822 - Close-up of man looking down at woman.70507768 - Girl eating cherry70507762 - Young woman with hand in hair, portrait70507744 - Young woman twirling her hair, wearing headset and looking away, smiling70507710 - Blonde woman holding piece of broccoli with chopsticks70507680 - Woman smiling at camera, portrait70507623 - Young couple standing together, smiling at camera, portrait70507590 - Teenage girl looking up, close-up, chalet in background70507448 - Young woman on beach, cropped view70507333 - Woman holding up apple, smiling70507294 - Mature couple lying on beach, front view70507192 - Two female friends outdoors, one leaning against the other70507173 - Woman smiling and holding collar of bathrobe70507168 - Woman smiling with hand on neck and eyes closed70507154 - Young woman, portrait70507153 - Young woman smiling, portraitnext page
