The Perseids at Maryhill Stonehenge

^{August 11, 2012.}

The Maryhill Stonehenge and the Milky Way during the Perseids meteor shower.

The Maryhill Stonehenge is a full-size, astronomically-aligned replica of the original Stonehenge in the UK. It was dedicated as a memorial to those that died in World War I. The Perseids are an annual meteor shower associated with the comet "Swift-Tuttle". During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches more than 60 per hour.

The memorial was lit up in red by the brake lights of a vehicle. Saw the light and immediately pressed the trigger!
