Different kind of Fire Works......
The Australia Day
Skyworks show in Perth is ( accordingly to media) the biggest fireworks display in all of Australia!
( side note: Went to Melbourne a few years back with family, thinking there would be a big show on for Aus day. After booking a river viewing suite et al, found out that most people in Melbourne did not know there was a fireworks display on for Aus Day
. In the end it was a pitiful display that lasted stuff all. The gas explosion lanterns (?), near the casino was more entertaining!)
This morning (7 am when I saw some clouds) I had a thought that if there was a thunderstorm tonight, what would happen to the show?
And yes, we had storm cells circling Perth. Just before and during the Skyshow.
I took some pics ( again
yes) of the lightning from my
backyard and a bit of the front.
Had to keep cleaning the lens due to small rain drops.....
Not as good as the
previous ones.
These are more knotted /knurled and cloud orientated.
Lotsa moisture in the air too....
and this time I was a bit more apprehensive too. The bolts were above me ....... not hitting the ground but still close....
Bartzzzzzmanzz....zzzz...zzzzzzzzzz ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Envious too, Our storm season has been soo scarce of lightning, last good event was 30th oct ? ? ?
