Went down to the Florida keys Friday evening, in the hopes to catch a clear sky for seeing the MilkyWay. But the forecast was not that accurate. There were more clouds than I wanted, but there were breaks in the clouds so I could get some shots. I was taking this particular shot when a meteor fell into the image. Boy, that was something to see – it really made my night.

The light is about 100 feet above the water and was completed in 1852. Carysfort Reef is named for HMS Carysfort (1766), a 20-gun Royal Navy post ship that ran aground on the reef in 1770.
