Lightning!

[pyat]

They weren't kidding about intense lightning. I've counted 50+ flashes in a minute.






Some frames from video I shot, showing lightning striking nearby - less than 500 metres. These was two seperate strikes, though it seemed like just one to me.

The lightning is so bright here it's turning off all the streetlights. Which made walking home in the storm all the more surreal.

But you saved your book!

(Your icon is very scary, sir.)

It's part of a series of photos I took as I de-bearded myself after my trip to Oz. This one is my "Garden City Motorcycles" look ... the next one is entitled "Science!" and only looks scary in that it looks like I may be experienced with the Amazongo river (In distant South Amafrica) and armies of Robo-Automatons.
