Fun with lightning

So for those of you fortunate enough to have seen the amazing lightning storm the other night you know how beautifully it lit up the sky. I couldn't just sit in my house and watch and I definitely couldn't go without grabbing the camera. So here is the picture of the night. It took sixty snaps to grab this one.

I'm sorry for the location from whence it's taken. Lots of trees and power lines in the way. (Next lightning storm I promise to stand in the middle of a field where I'm the tallest object with my metal tripod so we won't have any pesky obstructions in the pictures.)

Hahaha!!! That's right, we don't want any obstructions next time. Awesome! Thanks so much for sending me that email so I didn't miss this. Great pic, wish I had been there.

Beautiful! Glad you didn't give up after 59 shots!

You're reading Simarillion (sp?), huh? Good book. I liked it a lot, although it kinda dragged in spots.

Thanks guys. Mandie I wish you had been there as well.

Yes Elise, I'm reading the Simarillion but I've been reading it for almost a year now. I take it in chunks. I love it but like you said, it drags in places.
