Shot on christmas eve 2011 during one of the conga line of violent storms that we copped before christmas. I pitty santa having to work his way through this sucker...
I shot this image from under the verandah of my house as it was too dangerous to venture out. The rain was off and on but the lightining was doing the full 360 around us and impacting close by. You could feel the static electricity in the air when this one let go. It is a single strike and has had very little work-up to get to the final image.
