Dark and Stormy
I woke up Sunday morning to rain. I’m glad we are finally getting some. I spent most of the afternoon on my porch, when I thought, it would be perfect to get some shots in the park after the rain. I decided to go back to Riverview Park. No sooner then I arrived it started to rain. I saw a shack from the road and went out to explore anyway. I got soaked. Shortly after that the thunder and lighting started. Usually I am terrified of lightning. But after realizing it was far enough away I decided to go to Observatory Hill. The rain stopped, but lightning continued to strike. Mist was rising from the woods, and I was able to capture this strike.

So dark and ominous… The clarity of the houses in the distance cause the area surrounding the lighting bolt to stand out nicely.
Ominous capture, the lightning is a brilliant addition. Good work!
Rob, Thank you so much! This was the first time I tried to capture lightning. I’m usually terrified of lightning.
