Meteor Trail Over Connecticut Desert Escarpment

Thick mist rests on the jagged rock face of a wind-cut escarpment, obscuring the lower slopes while the sky above remains dark and heavy. A brilliant meteor streaks horizontally across the upper frame, leaving a long, glowing trail that cuts through the gray haze. Occasional beams from a lighthouse sweep across the scene, momentarily illuminating the wet stone textures and the swirling vapor. The ground below is a dark, uneven surface of sand and gravel, barely visible in the low light. The meteor's path aligns perfectly with the horizontal rock strata, creating a sharp geometric contrast against the organic erosion patterns. A faint reflection of the light beam shimmers on a small puddle near the foreground rocks.
