Stars align and magic happens in meteor shrine photos from Japan coast【Photos】

The real show at this Izu beach town was happening up above.

Shizuoka Prefecture’s Izu Peninsula is famous for its beautiful coastline, and the region is a popular getaway destination for Tokyoites who want to spend a weekend relaxing in its quiet seaside towns. But in the early hours of last Sunday morning Japanese Twitter user @rain_mcz wasn’t staring at the sea, but gazing at the stars near Shirahama Shrine in the town of Shimoda.

Being a photography buff, @rain_mcz also had a tripod set up, and that turned out to be extremely fortunate, because life doesn’t give you too many chances to take a picture as perfectly beautiful as this.

At a little after 2:45 a.m., a shooting star came streaking across the sky, aligned practically parallel to the pillars of the shrine’s torii gate. @rain_mcz quickly snapped a photo, holding the shutter open long enough to capture the trail of light. “I don’t think I’ll ever see a bigger bolide meteorite than this” @rain_mcz tweeted, adding that a piece of it seemed to break off as it passed out of view.

“I totally lucked out on this” @rain_mcz explains modestly, explaining that the timing and composition was something that was impossible to deliberately plan.

That said, @rain_mcz’s portfolio contains far too many amazing night sky shots than anyone could take through happy coincidences alone, and the latest addition proves that there’s no substitute for a skilled photographer who also happens to be in the right place at the right time.
