Folly Beach County Park

Folly Beach County Park in South Carolina has one of the darkest night skies that can be found without having to drive a billion miles into the middle of nowhere. It is a great place to watch the night sky (weather permitting). This tree at the end of the park is very special - it stands on it's own and makes for a great subject to photograph. Visit this location at low tides though since the far end of the park is inundated with tidal waters at high tide. You can also spot Dolphins close to the shore here - on this day, there was an entire group of them feeding just feet off the coast. Do carry lots of bug spray with you as the South Carolina bugs are out in murderous numbers on most nights.

As regards this image, it is a blend of 3 exposures to capture multiple Perseid meteors. Each exposure was @30 seconds @16mm focal length with an ISO of 3200.
