omg! omg!

late at night, i lie in my bed and hear the storm outside. all of a sudden i notice the flashes through my closed window and hear the rumbling thunders. i realise there's a lightning storm going on, not a very common thing in israel. i can't sleep anyway so i decide i have to go out on the porch and watch it. it's incredible.
i take my camera and my tripod out to the porch, set them up, and then put my camera on the longest exposure setting it had possible. click and wait, i was hoping to be lucky enough to capture something good in those few seconds.
and i was.

    Wow!
    Those are really big, since we have a scale (the houses) on this one.
    Beautiful, and scarry somewhere!

  21. reutC (78 months ago | reply)

    ElGeko, keep in mind the houses are on a mountain and the lightnings are far far behind it (they actually hit the sea, you can see it on the other photos), so they're not only really big, they're huge! :)
