Julia and I went out to catch the Leonid meteor shower. After a lifetime of hard-won experience, I have learned that meteor showers are never as exciting as the hype. If they say "there may be 300 meteors an hour", that means that you might see one or two before you run out of hot chocolate and have to head in.
So we found a spot out east of town, which was actually pretty popular with the meteor watchers. There was a little gypsy village of pickup trucks and cars by the side of the road. We found a spot that was out of sight, but not out of hearing of this community.
As meteors present significant technical hurdles to photography, so once again I have taken this opportunity to draw you some pictures of the event.
