Nocturnal Nimbus


There isn't much I like better than a storm and we've had a couple of beauties last Thursday/Friday.
Unfortunately the car is off the road at the moment, so I couldn't venture out (motorcycles and apocalyptic rain storms don't mix), so here are some photos I took out of a window.
 
Top image is a composite of lightning strikes I captured with the camera facing NW and just let to run while I enjoyed the show.
 
The best individual shot is the bottom image - a lightning giant descended to wreak havoc.

Ribbon lightning colouring the sky and causing lens flare
