A Shy Meteor from Perseids over Punta Cana Beach

For many people enjoying the night sky is an holiday experience, although, the artificial lights coming from the neighbor cities can disturb this experience. So a beach could be a good option, specially by the time of Perseids Meteor Shower, increasing your chance of catching a falling star, like the one timidly visible behind the left side of this coconut tree from Bávaro Beach, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Centred in the background sky of the image, is also visible a small cluster of stars known as Pleiades. Below is available a short time-lapse sequence with moving clouds.
