 While I was shooting at this scene a tornado came in from behind me(close) knocking trees across the road stranding me in Flatside Wilderness for 7 hours. My cell phone would work enough to get the word out I was stuck. Thanks to my brother Rog, Dad and newphew Wes for coming to my aid. scary evening

Wow. I have only been able to capture a couple of lightning shot. Nothing close to the quality of this. Beautiful shot!

Lightning magic adorned with a fantasy like sky wherein silhouttes in the foreground cut out their interesting shape. This is much more than just incredible lightning. It is a cornucopia of natures majestic delights. Bumping up.

I don't know if everyone can appreciate a good lightening shot. I know they are not anywhere near as easy as it looks! Nice job. :-)

This looks like a summer Australian Skyline. Could be wrong though! I thought it looked like Queensland. Fantastic capture! 9

Too bad it washed out. I waited for one of these here in Southern Colorado, none that I could get to in November. Good colors. 6
