410-monte-carlo-meteor-dixon – .A bright Perseid meteor streaks across a dense, star-filled night sky as viewed from a hilltop in Ventimiglia, Italy, leaving a fine, glowing trail above a sweeping coastal view. Below, a winding mountain road and sprawling seaside towns are illuminated by artificial golden and white lights, tracing the rugged contours of the coastline. The calm ocean waters are visible along the dark shorelines, contrasting with the vibrant nocturnal human activity and the vast celestial display above. Digital composite, 2004.
