I actually planned to go watch this event, but as the clock struck 2am I was already dozing off. Then a few moments later my friend got me to go because his cousin said there was a location in Laguna Beach where there were a lot of people star gazing. Anyways by the time we got there, there were 3 cop cars patrolling, telling people they couldn't wander off on the dirt trails, but there were just too many people and they didn't feel like chasing anybody in the dark, so they just sat in their cars lol. The night was epic. Clear view of the stars and the city and a good amount of shooting stars that left a glowing trail of dust for a few seconds before it disappeared. I didn't manage to capture any pictures of the shooting stars, because taking a picture of a shooting star is like finding a needle in a haystack. They don't fly by in the same location as the last one, and they only come when you least expect it. Oh well. The night wasn't a total loss. I got a few nice pictures of the view of the city.
