Stargazing

 

stargazing

The sky slowly turned into a dark blue as the sun went deeper into the earths horizon. The stars started to flicker into place, each one shinning a bright light. The cold icy land was reflecting the light off the stars giving a stunning mirror effect. 

At last, the world felt ghostly still. My heart beat slowed as I slowly started to take in the breathtaking sight.

It was 6:26, only 4 minutes left until the meteor shower would begin and I could barely hold in my excitement. I in a rush took out all the camera equipment and began to set up the camera stand. This was it, the moment I'd waiting so long for. 

I looked again at my watch, 6:30...not a second later, the sky was filled with a rush of light coming from the east. It was like scene from a movie or a fairy-tale, the beauty of it all was so breathtaking. In the moment I felt happiness, joy and calmness.
