Image Details:

2 Perseids in 1 shot and 1 is a fireball. Went up to the upper Pahranagat lake in hopes of getting a couple shots of the Perseids. With thunder storms building all day I wasn't very hopeful. Clouds were rolling through all night but there were clearings here and there. Just as the clouds were coming back I got to see this.
