The sun wake us up, as it was shining right into our huts. A wonderful day to start with. The breakfast was not for me.

While "taking up photography" might sound like a great idea now, but when you find out you need to wake before the sun and head out at dusk just to get the best lighting, you might not be as excited.

Like other meteor showers, such as the Perseids and the Orionids, the Leonids happen when Earth plows through a trail of debris left in the wake of a comet orbiting the sun.
