Mar 2, 2009: Lightning Close
I confess I love lightning pictures, and we did one here.
But Daza123, at ePHOTOzine, captured this shot showing tendrils going all over the neighborhood, and I couldn't resist.

Shot, During storm last night from my window. I know the composition sucks and i didnt even get the ground in the shot but storm was brief i just stuck camera on tripod selected the smallest appeture i could and fired off a few shots.. Got lucky strike about 20ft from me.. Hope you enjoy and the loss of my soiled pants will be worth it... |

I would need a really good camera and an extra pair of shorts to take that picture.

I'm not afraid of many things. But lightning is one of them. Unimaginable power.

I wonder what lightning tastes like? Probably crunchy and bitter.

That looks suspiciously like the UK -which makes it even more awesome -they don't get so many thunderstorms there (as we do here in the US -or at least my part of it), especially not the forked-lightening kind, so much less chance of getting this shot.

From the other Daza123 pictures on the site, I think he is in the UK.

I have a friend who's actually been struck by lightening twice. Couple years later, a big truck drove into his house, demolishing most of it (but not him). About three months ago, he took a trip into town, only to discover his cat in the engine (it lived, barely). A few weeks ago, he nearly cut his thumb off with a *cough* SKILL saw.
Yeah. God hates Gus.

I love storms, but strikes that close would have me inside the house. Yikes!

Glinda-- Sounds to me like God REALLY LIKES Gus a lot.
