- Cool! There's even a reflection of the bright arc contacting the adjacent building, here, on top of this dome. GREAT SHOT! - Skypeeper
lightning closer
I have recieved alot of question about this picture, there was not device. I am very humbled by all the very nice comments. Honestly there was a severe thunder and lightning storm just decided to grab the camera and try to get a good shot. Needless to say there was alot of luck involved. As many know Florida is the lightning capital of the World and this picture showed why. The building sustained severe electrical damage the whole phone and alarm system was fried. This picture ran in the Miami Herald a day later. Picture was taken in Miami about 5 minutes away from the Downtown area.
