Taken on Cocoa Beach on 8-23-04 at 1:15AM. I thought it would make a great desktop wallpaper with the darkness on the left-side of the image. Enjoy!

Excellent capture, Tom. The hardest part, I guess, was standing there with the camera without moving for two months.

This is really nice it is a definite 10. I tried photographing lightning once. The first one went of right above my head. I could feel the air crackle around me. Packed up my stuff and went home. Never to try again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic shot Tom. We had an electrical storm here a while back and tried to get some shots of the electricity but it was too darn fast so I can appreciate what it took to get these shots. Also this just looks ace!
