"The greatest show"
On the night of August 11th, I climbed up to a mountain hut in the French Alps. It took me about 7-8 hours to get to the hut with all my photography gear. I had planned this shot for more than 2 years.
As you can see in the photo, The Perseids fly over the sky in the presence of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Also, you can see the highest mountain in the European Union, the always magnificent Mont Blanc, in the French Alps.
Surrounded by two glaciers that converge a bit further down, you can see both of them in the image, the Mer de Glace which flows for a total distance of 12 kilometers, covering an area of 32 square kilometers in the central third of the Mont Blanc massif. On the left-hand side, you can spot the Leschaux Glacier and its hut (the light just next to the glacier).
In addition, if you take a deeper look, just below the Grandes Jorasses mountain range you will be able to spot climbers trying to summit the mountain with the first lights (you can see their headlamps).
As always, we were gifted with a spectacular Perseids show at almost 3000m high.
