Meteor Streak Over Sandakan Breakwater Night

by Judy Booth

A brilliant white streak cuts diagonally across the deep indigo expanse of an autumn night sky, its path glowing brighter than the scattered stars around it. Below, the dark silhouette of a concrete breakwater extends into the black water, its rough surface reflecting faint ambient light from the distant town. The horizon glows with a soft, diffuse orange haze, hinting at the humid air settling after a recent rain. The sky transitions from a near-black zenith to a lighter band above the water, where the meteor's ionized trail lingers momentarily. The scene is anchored by the solid, wet texture of the pier stones in the foreground, against the vast, weightless darkness of the cosmos above. A final cool reflection of the meteor's light shimmers briefly on the rippling surface of the sea.
