Image Details:

In the previous night of August 11th , I noticed that most of meteors where "flying" away from radiant point in Perseu and showing up very beautifully in Milky way region.
So I decided to setup 2 cameras , one pointing the radiant in Perseus and another one pointing South .
It was a good decision as most of the meteors as can be seen by the attached picture show up "near" the Milky way.
The light painted help to compose and lit the foreground and add a human touch.
