Wow, to be able to actually capture lightening like this is pretty rare...you are fortunate to have been there and to take it without any mishaps..Very beautiful colours.
OK, now this one takes the cake! I love how you captured all the fingers of the lightning. It almost looks like broken glass in the sky! Amazing depth to this image also. With the strikes being in all four corners of your image, there is added drama to this already dramatic image. Well done my friend :~)
And how could we endure to live and let time pass if we were always crying for one day or one year to come back-if we did not know that every day in a life fills the whole life with expectation and memory and that these are that day? C.S. Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet
