Catch a falling star

The view from the upstairs balcony made
for a good setup to do long exposure shots.
This was a 441 second shot of the trees surrounding
the entrance to the boardwalk, St Simon lower left corner
(light house is the brightest source), and as much of the
sky as I could get. The circular star trails are the result of
the earth's rotation, and the streak is (I believe) a falling
star which just happened to fall while
the shutter was open.

Chris and Kim, I saw this one in the S&T forum. Very effective use of the limited light for a great result.
