Love the image (and the pun)!

Perhaps just a little bit of detail in those houses?

Thanks, everyone!
Paulo: it did feel a little exposed to be the tallest object for some kilometers, but the lightning seemed to stay in the clouds.  :o
Slobodan: those lights are 5-10 km away so there's no more detail. Some kind of small house would have been good.

Lightning can be scary stuff...had one get real close to me not long ago and I've been a bit on the skittish side ever since. Nice shot though!

Terrific, Scott. Never been able to time those shots just right.

It's easy, Dave: just leave the shutter open for around 10 s, take lots of shots.

Thanks, Chris.

Well done. The last time I saw a sky like that was in South Dakota.
