The Perseids Among the Stone Giants
The Perseids Among the Stone Giants (Perseids Meteor Shower of 2026)
Another image from this year's Perseid meteor shower peak, taken at Tulove Grede in Croatia. Although, based on that particular night, I'd probably call it Windy Grede instead. :D
Before reaching this spot, we got absolutely punched by the wind while shooting a panorama. So, once we made it up here, I found a decent little semi-shelter between some rocks where I could sit down and recover for a bit. It wasn't even that late into the night, but somehow most of my energy was already gone.
The wind was also starting to take a toll on my ears. They were hurting and ringing a bit, so I ended up stuffing some tissue in them. The last thing I wanted was to end up with tinnitus.
It's a place filled with incredible stone formations. It's almost as if everything here was crafted by a giant rather than shaped by nature.
This was also one of the reasons why I decided to run into the frame for this shot, just to give the place a bit of scale. Looking at photos alone, it's hard to believe how big some of these formations really are.
Thanks to Uroš Fink for pointing me in the right direction during our daytime scouting for this particular composition.
