Anglesey, Wales.
I made the four hour journey to Anglesey on Tuesday all in the hopes of capturing a Perseid meteor at this gorgeous well photographed location. The conditions were just perfect, clear sky and no moon. This has to be the best photo of the milky way I've captured here in the UK. There is very little light pollution which enables the camera to pick up details like the dust clouds in the galaxy. You can see them around the top of the lighthouse. I spent a good four to five hours shooting and managed to capture half a dozen meteors but this one stood from the crowd. I saw it streak down the sky as it happened which was a bonus. As the camera was still exposing I thought to myself "I hope it picked that one up" and surely enough it did. I booked the whole week off work this week to give myself the best chances of shooting the Perseids meteor shower. This shot made this week off work worth while.

Absolutely stunning. I was going to say what a pitty about the shooting star capture, but it is an ideal sight to show that nothing in life is perfect
