Early this morning I drove to Mount Tolmie hoping to capture a meteor streak from the Geminid Meteor Shower. The sky was fairly clear but once I got set up heavy fog rolled in. I did observe two Geminid streaks in Ursa Major but of course my camera was pointed away from the great bear. This picture neatly sums up the conditions I faced.
