I was having a can of beer over the beach last night when the Milky Way rose over the horizon.

Often, city lights are a boor when it comes to shooting stars, but this time it actually enhanced the photo by adding interesting elements on the horizon. The artificial glow of the city beyond the sea and the heavy lights of fishing vessels added a more magical glow to the evening’s clouds.
