Stormy Weather

British Columbia

I grabbed this from our deck last night, the
first time I have been able to catch lightning.
The storm lasted for a while and caused a couple
of seconds interruption in power, just enough that
I had to reset the electronics that rely on it. :)

The foreground tree was being blown about strongly.

Fantastic capture of this huge flash of lightning, and remarkable composition with a great sense of place.

Powerful capture in more ways than one.
I am sure its said the discharge travels up.
Amazing work.

Your long exposure has produced quite an interesting pattern, Peter.
