There were more then the Preseid meteor shower lighting up the Guanella Pass area, early Thursday  morning. It was peak time and the top of the pass was pretty crowed. With a lot of cars coming and going, light pollution was a problem. Along with that, mountain hikers had on headlamps, planes and satellites were streaking in the ski. Instead of getting upset I decided to use the light for my photos.


Below is a collection of images from that night.
