It poured with rain all day and well into the evening on the night that was to be the Lyra meteor shower. Then suddenly at 10:15 holes started to appear in the cloud so I excitedly packed seating, blankets, camera kit, light tool and refreshments into the car and headed off to a rocky hillock that had been reconned earlier in the day. The cloud totally cleared and we saw about 50 or so meteors mostly radiating from the direction of Lyra. Some short and dull, some really long bright ones that travelled great distances across the sky and some showing themselves as sparkly flashes as they travelled directly towards us. Despite the suggestion of a distant sunset from a shoreline, this 'Dennis Calvert' heat mapped life form was shot on the top of rocky hill facing north east towards London whose sodium glow is evident on the last remnants of the disappearing cloud. Only got a couple of below average meteor shots but this trail shot and the natural light show made up for it.
