Lightning!

Pictures du jour here.
Forum rules
This is a good place to put pix of your lab or shop intended to produce the drool reaction. If topics get lengthy here, we may want to move most of the discussion to where it fits in the org scheme here (such as it is). Good place for announcements of things you just got working and so on. Respecting readers who may not have large bandwidth, try and keep the pictures to about one megapixel -- we have the BW and the storage here, no problems, but some readers may not.

Lightning!

Last night we got a lightning storm here in the Portland area. Usually we get about 1 storm a year if we are lucky, and by storm I mean a flash every few minutes.

Last night's was somewhat unusual though, lots of strikes so I grabbed my camera and tripod and drove till I found a good vantage point and shot away.

Great pix, Jerry. All we've been getting is boring old rain and dark here.

I'd do it in a hot minute if it wouldn't totally sink my budget with shipping costs.
