Details:
On Sunday, April 22 - near the Turkey border with Bulgaria, I've captured this sun pillar with the planet Venus just before the Lyrids.
These pillars (collective glints of millions of ice crystals) are narrow columns of light apparently beaming directly up and downwards from the sun but this time it was pointing at the Venus.
Extremely early in the morning on monday, April 23, I observed 10-12 meteors per hour after moonset and before sunrise and I captured just one of them.
