Paphos Life

Mid August we had some days where you should see a lot of meteors and I have spent quite a time to produce some photos from them. Unfortunately the window to shoot pics is only every ca 30 seconds, so I lost a lot of them in between, which I could see but not photograph. (15 sec open lense, 15 sec. developing time)
Anyhow 2 nights work produced at least some result. Who can spot the one on the last photo? Clearly for me on a 42 inch screen but on a laptop?

Easy to spot






This one is is less easy.. bottom right hand side

Just below middle of pic, rising from left to right.

Is this what you do when you can't sleep because of the heat?

Great photos Max. I took a late night swim and just stared up at the millions of stars but, sadly, did not spot any meteors. I did spot a couple of planes so high up I couldn’t even hear their engines.

Glad you liked to pics, Aphrodite.
The next time you will have a very good chance to see meteors: Draconids meteor shower will peak on the night of October 8 and early morning of October 9. (providing it is a clear sky then)

For a while I was laying on a mattress on the floor near my barbecue area (pic 2 + 4) but this was even hotter than in the bedroom. OK, it was on the 13th of August when my bedroom temperature was "only" 30c unlike yesterday when it was 34.8c when I went to sleep.

By the way: a lot of Cypriots sleep all August outside their houses...(not for me, because the midges like me toooo much)

Yes, our daughter once fancied doing that but the midges drove her indoors too.
