him who saved Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. Yes they got married and yes, Mythology is beautiful.
You probably already know, but if you don't, Perseid doesn't really have to do anything with the constellation Perseus and it's only used to identify the radiant of this meteor shower.
Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle last visited the inner solar system in 1992 and it will take another 133 years to complete its orbit around the sun.
Every year we have the chance to observe the spectacle of Earth passing through the debris left behind by this comet and sometimes it's just awesome, sometimes not so much, weather depending :)
This week we were not that lucky in the central-eastern part of the US with clouds, scattered showers and thunderstorms spread all over.
I skeptically checked Clear Outside around 8 and realized that there might be a small chance for a short window to see the sky so I grabbed my gear and got to Hueston Woods just after the sunset.
I was able to take 30 sec shots for about 120 minutes before the clouds kicked me out of the park. There was quite a spectacle for a few minutes and I was even able to capture a few meteors with my 14mm despite the class 4 bortle location, looking towards the light polluted Dayton.
I used a tracker for the light shots blended with 6 stacked foreground shots. My first time playing with this, so be gentle, please ;)
Oh, I forgot. I love Milky Way too.
Upon leaving the galleries and gift shops, one will see this on the way to the Powhatan Indian Village.
Some of us are old enough to remember when nearly every car had a wing window that could be opened for ventilation. They have disappeared thanks to air conditioning and the need for more streamlined cars. This one is on a 40's era Ford and the safety glass has deteriorated, resulting in embedded shapes and colors.

This is the view from my upstairs study looking north toward Blanco Texas and the peaks known as "Twin Sisters".
I wonder if I am the only one who stops on the stair landing- totally engulfed by the light in this window? It's been photographed on so many different occasions and still it is a magical window for me. Fun to share it with my house guests today.

Happy wonderfully wide window Wednesday.
I found a big window again (after 2 years) at the supermarket yesterday. I've been getting irritated at only having small ones in houses. Although I do have the shop windows I could use - if I'd only remembered.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
