RUN!

Perceid meteors over Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, Georgia.

 

Having some fun with the twisted shape of one of many large, dead trees on the beach which present an eerie scene in the starlit night. I immediately thought of one of the "bugs" from the 1997 movie Starship Troopers when seeing this particular tree. Admittedly not the greatest dark sky viewing with much light pollution coming from a lighthouse and port visible a few miles to the left of the scene but it did help with foreground illumination.

 

Jupiter is the bright object to the right of center and Saturn is slightly dimmer, up and to the right of Jupiter.
