ZZzzzzapp!


Something had to get up on the blog sooner or later.... This is later.

I went out on dark to lock up the chooks, turned around and was blown away by the HUGE thunder cloud over the mountains, still glowing pink from the setting sun and edged in silver from the full moon rising behind. Then if that wasn't good enough, the lightening show began in earnest. There was amazingly long cloud to cloud bolts, earth to cloud and then earth to space. Long bolts spiraling upwards into a clear black sky into nowhere. And with the moon keeping pace with the building thundercloud it was like someones crazy 70's fantasy airbrush mural.

Thanks to HD for the photos. We sat on the verandah and she caught a few good pics on the little Cannon snappy-happy. 4 worked out of 120 pics taken. Ahh, the joy of digital.
