Default for all you lightning junkies

Here is another shot from a storm that passed recently. With winter looming I probably won't get a chance to take any more for a while.

Hope you like.

What can I say? What more could you ask for in a strike? The lightning did its thing and the photographer (skilled mind you) did his thing and together a great image was yielded.

Oh I love this stuff. Great catch. I have always been fascinated by lightning even tho terrified of it as a kid. I hope to catch some this summer.
