Lightning photos

I love lightning. It inspires me, it energizes me. A lightning storm was partially responsible for this blog (see the approximation of the view at 51:51 at the top of the page). So when I saw this on Boingboing today I had to post it. The picture they chose (the one above) completely sealed the deal. It was taken January 24th, 1993 in Oakhurst, NSW. Needless to say, Michael Bath has nearly 30 pages of lightning photographs dating back almost 20 years from the land down under. He also has a handy guide to taking your own lightning photos that I will be studying. Maybe when I retire from this blog, I'll take up storm chasing and start a whole new blog.
