I really should use stumbleupon more often than I do now, which is virtually not at all, but this site has interesting facts about the awe of lightning ands its attributes: StumbleUpon WebToolbar


Also displays pics like these:

I don't know why I hadn't thought of Boston before -- it's one of my favorite sites now, after I discovered it last October.


Hopefully this one works correctly (and wasn't posted before now):

God Plays Through ; PHOTOGRAPHY by Gene Lower ; winner of the SDX 2001 Awards, Category "Sports Photography"



BIOGRAPHY:
Gene Lower is an award winning freelance photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona. Photographic coverage ranges from sports, events, portraits, weddings and scenics. His photos have appeared in major international magazines such as Sports Illustrated and Time, as well as top-notch newspapers including the New York Times, LA Times, and London Sunday Times.

Lower's philosophy is to capture the essence and personality of his subjects while portraying them in a unique way. He provides a comfortable environment allowing every client to relax and feel at ease in front of the camera. Lower takes an easygoing, laid-back approach so that he can get to know his subjects and their objectives for the photographs — while at the same doing whatever it takes to get the shot — passively aggressive.

Too close for comfort! by Teresa L James


author's notes: I thought it would be cool to take a photo of lightening so I had the shutter open for 30 seconds. I was out on my back porch when the lightening struck soooo close ...needless to say I jumped...therefore the poles moved in the photo..I don't think I'll do this again unless the storm is a loooong way away!

geo-date notes: Taken on August 11, 2009 ; Taken in Vici, Oklahoma

absorbentishe 12-11-2009 06:42 PM

Those are great, but I've been inside two places that were struck. Talk about scary...

that first new picture that you posted, ring; it's like nerve synapses firing.
It looks as though there could be a storm in my brain, and I get to watch from the inside of my own eyes.

Besides the lack of snow, these pictures are another reason I can't wait for summer: I love a good thunder/lightning storm!
Great pics to remind me.

Darn, I thought I had seen this before, but only now do I realize it; oh, well... here's the history, and a bigger portrayal:

Chile The fury of Chaitén volcano seems to set the sky on fire. Highly charged particles of pumice roar upward in spreading clouds of gas and smoke, generating crackling tangles of lightning.
