Holy Moly, Yikes. That is amazing looking.

I always thought lightning aimed for the high points --- look how far the strike is down the canyon wall.

 

[Johali]

I agree I thought so too, but that is part of the beauty of that shot.

Wow! That really does show the power of mother nature. Awesome shot.

 

[Johali]

Thank you TRL for your lighthearted threads on a dismal news day for Nascar, I smiled at the lightning pictures and laughed at the kitty litter er ah hello kitty thread.

Wow, those are really awesome photos!
Lightning also comes from the ground, upward to meet the downward strike.

That looks so amazing! I wish I could do what he does.
