A photographer captured the incredible peak of a meteor shower — as sparks are seen shooting across the night sky.

Uroš Fink, 31, photographed the picturesque annual Perseid meteor shower from a mountain in Slovenia.

It shows the colorful Milky Way dotted with nebulas as the Perseid meteors shoot across the night sky.

The petrol station salesman took the photo from the Mangart Saddle, the highest lying road in Slovenia.

Uroš said: “I could hardly wait for the day to come. Every year I am full of expectation to see the Perseid meteors.

“I kept thinking ‘just let the weather hold out so I can capture as many meteors as possible on camera’.

“I was standing on the edge of the abyss - sometimes it’s necessary to make a little effort and go outside your comfort zone to get a top image.

“I did it because I have great desire and motivation to photograph the universe in combination with nature.

“I simply adore nature and everything related to the universe – so combining these two things into one image is something invaluable.”

It was taken on August 7, 2021.
