"Oh my God, it is full of...!"

"Oh my God, it is full of...!"
For an urbanist like me, a night in the countyside is definitely an experience. It can be quite scary too: when you go out, it is so pitch black first that you cannot see your own hands.

That night we had the stars: after many rainy days the sun had managed to peek just before the sunset, but I was totally unaware of the spectacle waiting for me up there when I first went out after dark. I think I actually cried out loud in astonishment at the stairs, me, who had not seen the full Big Dipper in decades.

The awe was not diminished by the grandpa from the neigborhood, who had just told us that they had seen a bear with two clubs out there. It was ursa all over the place!

If you look closely, there are other kinds of trespassers in the sky.

I see two meteorites. At least I *think* that's what they are. :)

This is a 25 sec exposure, so they could also be satellites. I once observed the ISS passing, and to me it looked surprisingly fast. I didn't notice anything moving when I shot this.
