Sweet! Thanks for sharing that. Any idea of where that was taken? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

That's a good picture to use to show a "Ground to Cloud" strike, instead of the more common "Cloud to Ground" variety. The forking of the lightning upward shows the stepped leader grew upward from the ground toward the sky. A lot of people don't quite grasp that aspect of lightning generation, and that pic is a great way to help them understand.

Tony,
Nice shot.
But to be honest, when I first saw the town name, I misread it as Wackmeoff. Must of been some sort of Freudian slip.
Why is it my mind goes immediately to the gutter whenever I read one of your posts?

Looks fake to me - maybe a bad scan? What book is that from?

I see subliminal messages in these lightning pictures.
