Meteor Streak Over Lake at Midnight in Nepal in beneath a wind-cut desert escarpment in Nepal

Meteor Streak Over Lake at Midnight in Nepal

by Vera Walls

A bright white meteor cuts a sharp diagonal line across the deep indigo sky, hovering above a glassy mountain lake. The water reflects the starlight and the faint glow of the streak, creating a mirrored path. Rugged, wind-sculpted desert escarpment cliffs rise steeply on the left, their dark stone faces etched with deep shadows. A rhythmic sweep of artificial light, like a lighthouse beam, illuminates patches of the water's surface and the jagged rock edges, against the surrounding darkness. The scene sits beneath a winter sky, where the cold air seems to hold the light steady. A thin layer of frost coats the foreground stones, catching the sudden beam of the sweeping light.
