Beautiful one!


Thanks Jim.

Last night about 2 hours before sunset (too bright for
pictures) we had a thunder cell go over. Given the time delay I figure one
strike was within a few hundred yards at most.


Active cells only require persistence and luck for Daytime Lightning
Pictures ;-). A Strike at that distance is a Flash followed (quickly) by a
cracking sound and BOOM almost at the same time. A True attention getter!
