It's that time of the year over here, so I thought I'd share the season with you.

Here's the first good strike of the season.

sometimes. I'm just getting my hands on a few more pics from last nights storms. they were pretty wild in some places although a bit earlier, so the contrast isn't quite so good.

Nice! I love a good storm.

My lightning folder currently contains 440 photographs.

These photos above are all from over the last few days of storms we've had in my local area.

I'll try and get some pictures of the damage too. There's been a substantial amount.

Awesome pics Ali....has it resulted in much rain?
TheMercenary • Oct 10, 2007 9:54 pm
Awsome!
Aliantha • Oct 11, 2007 2:24 am

Did you take all of those? If so, they are very cool, nice job!! I assume you have a tripod?

We get lots of lightening too during good thunderstorms, but I haven't managed to get any good shots...

Ok kids, it's time to play Spot The Australians!

Do they see amazingly cool lightning photos ... and ask if it rained?
Do they eat their national faunal symbols?
Do they stand in the blazing sun for five days and call it a sport?
Do they eat a huge hot roast dinner in late December when it is 40 degrees C?
That's right, kiddies, you've spotted an Australian!

Excellent pictures Aliantha!

Wonderful pics Ali. Thanks.
jester • Oct 11, 2007 2:39 pm
Wicked pics, Ali.
Aliantha • Oct 11, 2007 7:44 pm
I didn't take them. Sorry folks. I pinched them from sites where people had posted the pics they've taken. Some come from friends etc. Unfortunately I don't have a camera that would do the job well enough.

Labrat: tripods are overrated. ;)

I took this pic by accident when I left work a week ago. A storm was moving in and I wanted a pic of the sun through the clouds, I didn't even know the birds were there.Image

That thumbnail doesn't do the linked picture justice.

Nice one, paddle gal!

They aren't birds.... they're bats, vampire bats... giant, teenage, mutant, blood thirsty, vampire bats.
