Grèce....
Les Météores (en grec moderne : Μετέωρα) sont une formation géologique du nord de la Grèce, en Thessalie, dans la vallée du Pénée. Ils abritent des monastères chrétiens orthodoxes (en grec moderne : Μετέωρα Μοναστήρια, « monastères suspendus au ciel ») perchés au sommet de falaises et pitons rocheux gris, sculptés par l'érosion.
Le site est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis
1988.
Greece....
Meteora (in modern Greek: Μετέωρα) is a geological formation in northern Greece, in Thessaly, in the Penea valley. They are home to Orthodox Christian monasteries (in modern Greek: Μετέωρα Μοναστήρια, "monasteries suspended in the sky") perched on top of gray cliffs and rocky peaks, sculpted by erosion.
The site has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since

Because sometimes the earth is in the way. Somewhere near Winslow Arizona and still a little ways from Roswell.
Les Météores constituent l'une des plus belles curiosités de la Grèce. Dans la plaine de Thessalie se dressent d'imposants pitons rocheux où trônent des monastères des XIVe et XVe siècles. Aujourd'hui, il ne reste plus que six monastères en activité.
Astrophotography is one of the most complex forms of photography mankind has ever devised. This is the first time I have captured a "fast meteor".
"I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow,

Meteores, Kalambaka, Greecehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora Thanks for your support, I will be back to commenting soon!
On the night of August 13th to the 14th, an unexpected meteor outburst surprised astronomers. All sky cameras observed about 1,000 meteors in the sky. I was very lucky to see several of them, and then have my camera roll on the peak of the unexpected outburst between 2am and 5am. The image below shows a composite of more than 30 meteors in 3 hours across a small portion of the sky. (Explored # 175) www.rossellet.com

50,000 years ago a fiery giant meteor mass weighing several hundred thousand tons hurtled through space and impacted earth. The Crater’s diameter reaches 4,100 feet (1.2 km) with a depth of 570 feet (173 m). The rim’s height above the surrounding plain is 120-200 ft (36- 61m), with a total volume of 82,000,000 cubic yards (62,700,000 cubic meters). 300-400 million tons of rock were displaced by the impact (272-363 million metric tons). The highest point on the rim is 5,723 feet (1,744m) above sea level.

I did go out with the nuts to take photos of the Perseid Meteor shower - they were not as abundant or visible as we expected according to the news. I have seen big shows in my past on trips out west.
Anyhow this is a composite of a barn and the sky. The meteors were too high above the horizon where we were located so I had to add the barns to make an interesting image - so Happy Slider's Sunday!! (HSS)
There are 3 meteors in this image - the one that is really visible and then two very close together near middle center if you blow up the photo you can see.
