I produced this composite image showing 40 meteors from 4 hours of the Perseid meteor shower early in the morning of August 12, 2013.
These meteors appear in my 6+-minute time-lapse video of the 2013 Perseid Meteor shower on YouTube:
Later that month the Rim Fire broke out in Yosemite:

Beautiful
قدرت خداوند بسیار زیاد و زیبا است
Man I missed it...I hope there's some great footage somewhere.
At 0:46 of the video, it looks like one of them explodes.
Great shot, thank you. It was cloudy and rainy here last night, so this is the first I've seen of the shower. This looks like a nice one. The "double star"-looking thing at about the two o'clock position relative to the center of the picture is a lovely double cluster in Perseus, a pleasure to behold in a pair of binoculars or a rich-field telescope.
+Evelyn Mitchell Yes! I zoomed in on three of the meteors vaporizing into smoke, and placed that video on my +Vimeo account:

Thatz amazing
You actually GOT meteors last night? My camera only collected 3 and every photographer I've talked to across the US has said the same thing, it was a very lame shower.
Awesomeness
