It's the snap shots of Perseid meteor shower in 2004. I could enjoy the summer sky event at a highland with the hourly rate of about 50 or 60 meteors. The first image shows you three meteors from a radiant point in Perseus. And the second one has captured a Perseid bolide with a brightness of -2nd magnitude in Cygnus.
