I got Canon's photo of the week!

Well, the Canon theme for photo of the week was 'Nighttime', so I thought, "What better than a Meteor?" I never really thought it would be as popular as it was; Canon chose it for their 'Photo of the week' on Facebook, and everyone seems to love it!

Kinda surprised me, and I got 811 views on my Flickr account that day; my previous record was 27.

(Not meaning to sound all braggy, it's just exciting to me; definitely the most publicity I've ever gotten.)

Here is the shot:
