This was my last attempt after 15 minutes of snapping hoping for a good bolt. I was about 13 miles away from the city. My lens was not wide enough too, this is only about 60% of the city's skyline. The Title is in reference to the Chakra's of the Earth. NYC is the heart, hence the nickname the big apple which is acutally a heart .

The title is a little bemusing, but otherwise I am, as always, impressed by massive lightning bolts.

Nice shot. The lightning makes the Statue of Liberty seem tiny.

I hope folks look long enough to see the Statue of Liberty. Nice panoramic view.
