I am trying to locate photos of the Leonid Meteor Showers as they
appeared on the night of 11/17/01 so that I might give one as a gift
to my son & his fiancee who became engaged on that night at Wingeshire
Beach, Gloucester, MA. |

Do you require photos that were taken from Gloucester or would any
photos of the Leonids be adequate?

I would prefer a picture taken in that area, as they were on the beach
watching the meteors. omething that would show pretty much the view
they would have seen would be sufficient.

Hi - many of the photos that were taken during the night of November
17-18 2001 are dated the 18th. as the meteor shower was at its peak
during the early hours of the morning. If you are interested in
pictures from the beginning of the 18th. there are several taken from
the Eastern US and Canada, including some taken only about 100 miles
from Gloucester. These particular ones can be downloaded from the web
without even asking permission for 'private use'. If you want better
quality prints I imagine there's a good chance that that photographer
and/or several others might be willing to make an arrangement with you
- especially for such a romantic purpose! (Their email addresses are
easily available as are small images of their work.)
Please let us know if this is of interest to you.

Just posted my message before seeing your "clarification of question".
I think the viewpoint of some of these pictures would be similar to
the Gloucester viewpoint, as long as you are happy with the time and
other details.

leli-ga Sounds like you can help me. Is there a way I can contact
you for copies of photos you might have?

Hello again
The pictures I'm thinking of are ones I tracked down on the web - I
don't actually have copies. I found various possible photos online,
where you would have a choice, either to:
1--- download pictures and print them out (just a little gift)
or
2--- view small images online and email the photographers to make an
arrangement with them about purchasing their work
The pictures I found were, I think, taken by enthusiastic amateur or
professional astronomers.
Let me know if you'd like an answer consisting of a list of
possibilities. I'd be happy to pick out some suggestions for how to
follow through on the great idea for your son and his fiancee.

leli-ga Yes, I would appreciate any effort and help in finding these
photos and/or photographers. My son, the groom, is himself, a
professional photographer and I've found it ironic that the pictures
he took (or attempted to take) were not quality-wise enough to bother
printing. Guess his mind was elsewhere that special night! Thanks
for your interest and help. Donna H
