Short circuit @ Bangalore skyline

    Last evening there was a sharp evening showers in Bangalore - en effect of cyclone Nargis in the Bay of Bengal.
    Major roads were flooded, leading to traffic jams in several areas. Many trees were up rooted; many cars damaged; Huge power cut in city.

    There were lighting even after showers. Had this view from my apartment with my camera shutter wide open for 30 secs.

    Canon 400D, Lens 18-55mm, Shutter 30sec, F6.3, ISO200
