A photographer has captured the incredible sight of the Perseid meteor shower over Stonehenge.
Josh Dury, 26, was able to document the scene at the prehistoric structure by taking multiple images.
The Compton Martin-based astrophotographer says: "This image was taken over three and a half hours on Friday (9 Aug) night from 10:30pm."
Josh used camera techniques to combine 43 images of the meteors that fell during his time there.
He says: "The composite creating a visual narrative of shooting stars ‘raining’ down on Stonehenge."
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle that are usually visible from mid-July to late-August.
